Team New England

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to meet notability guidelines, with tag in place since 2008. The team has apparently been affiliated with 3 separate academic institutions, so there is no clear target for merge or redirect. The bulk of the article is apparently original research. Coverage consists of the expected variety from campus newspapers, with name mentions in other sources, such as Wired. Skeletor3000 (talk) 20:48, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: The Wired source (and I agree that it's something of a namedrop, of shaky notability) is the only G-news hit for "Team New England" + solar. A more general Google search turns up nothing but the aforementioned namedrops and various Wiki mirrors of this article. No trace of this club exists at any of the schools listed in the article.  The first source is disqualified as primary.  Beyond all of that, the list of "Races and accomplishments" is full of chest-thumping puffery, with some outright untruths (for instance, their claim of winning PPIHC is a lie).  Beyond that, all the content of the article comes from an anon IP and two SPAs, for whom this was their collective complete Wikipedia involvement.   Ravenswing      02:55, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
