 * Comment: Article has problems with promotional tone, and if kept will need a rewrite. For review, here are some possible refs:

 * Delete without prejudice against recreation in a few years. Right now, this project is very much in the start-up phase and has generated very little comment in reliable sources, and even then it's discussed in terms of what may happen in the future. Delete per WP:CRYSTALBALL and WP:TOOSOON. In several years, this may (or may not) have become notable, but right now it's minimally notable, and not notable enough for a stand-alone article at this point in my opinion. Furthermore, the article is basically promotional in tone at the present time. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 13:37, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Bushranger One ping only 23:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak delete The project has gotten a little bit of notice from Independent Reliable Sources - most notably the mention in the article in Nature - but not enough for notability. As DV suggests, possibly just WP:TOOSOON at this time. (Judging from the comments at the previous AfD discussion, it is a lot closer to notability now than it was in 2008.) --MelanieN (talk) 21:50, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
