The Open Design Community

Would not meet notability guidelines in accordance with precedent regarding online communities, and does not indicate why subject should otherwise be regarded as notable. Has no citations, yet contains detailed information on organization, indicating that the article is likely to have been written by a member, and thus self-promotional, not NPOV, and containing de facto original research. Additionally, the article includes anachronisms, including some which refer to planned (then) future events, and an examination of the organization's website did not turn up any clear signs of vitality or notability; message boards showed typical last-post times of 1 month. 0x69494411 12:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
