Spamvertisement for an apparently non-notable website that uses USGS data. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a government service rather than a commercial one, as far as I can tell. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-169636833.html describes it as an offering of the "U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with NASA," http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=TerraLook lists other articles. And perhaps some of its imaging (if it is public domain, as I would expect) could be incorporated into Wikipedia. --Eastmain (talk) 04:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. If it weren't for the fact that this was a government service, I'd say that it wouldn't merit inclusion.  However, I think government departments/organizations and their projects are inherently notable, and considering that there's at least three or four articles to be found on them with a quick google news search, I think it's enough for at least a stub.
