The Bullet Project

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable organisation which doesn't appear to be covered by reliable sources. Google search hasn't turned up anything useful and even if the one source to an article in The Times could be verified, it is insufficient on its own to meet the notability criteria at WP:ORG and WP:GNG, which both required multiple independent reliable sources.

 * Comment: The article has been tagged for notability since September 2009, since when no evidence of notability has been added. --JD554 (talk) 11:35, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is about an Australian attempt to build a vehicle that seeks to break the land speed record.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:13, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That's correct, but the article doesn't establish notability per WP:ORG or WP:GNG. --JD554 (talk) 14:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Did not say that it did; only commented so that AfD browsers would know what the article was about. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Catalyst, a well respected science program on the national public TV broadcaster (ABC), devoted a sizable segment to this endeavour whose transcript can be found here. While the article has (multiple and long-standing) issues I don't think it deserves deletion. Oosh (talk) 14:25, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That transcript doesn't mention The Bullet Project or the car The Silver Bullet. Also the The Bullet Project's official website doesn't seem to mention Rosco McGlashan. Are they definitely the same project? Because if they are, it isn't verified by that transcript. --JD554 (talk) 14:46, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I've got my wires quite seriously crossed, and confused this with 'Aussie Invader 5R'. -Oosh (talk) 23:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - As per the nom, fails to meet the notability criteria of WP:ORG or WP:GNG. There are clearly cars looking to brake the current record such as Bloodhound SSC by the current holder Andy Green but this lacks the reliable independent sources that show firstly the project is viable and secondly it is notable.
