Stanford solar car project

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable student group. OCNative (talk) 07:43, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Makes perfect sense within the context of List of solar car teams, where it's a relatively well written article.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 17:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would note that few of the teams on the cited list have articles. OCNative (talk) 01:51, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I easily found 4 references to the Stanford solar car project spanning 14 years - two books and two popular magazines. I'm certain there's many more. Most student groups haven't been producing world-class racing machines for 20+ years.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 04:04, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence that this group is anything more than a group of amateurs operating out of their parents' basement.  Gerbelzodude99 (talk) 21:38, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Patently untrue; you could say that they might be working out of their dorm rooms, but that is not relevant to their contributions to solar car racing.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 04:37, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Gerbelzodude99 blocked as a sockpuppet. 99.34.79.151 (talk) 20:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep well written, meets notability and verifiability guidelines. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:48, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This is not just a random student club; they have some notable accomplishments in solar car racing, as cited. Plvekamp (talk) 04:44, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Plenty of outside recognition for this group; for example, wired.com. --MelanieN (talk) 06:45, 1 January 2010 (UTC)MelanieN
