The Reaction Project (EU Project)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

DePRODded article. PROD reason was "More Eurospam. No independent sources. No indication of notability. Does not meet any notability guideline including WP:GNG." This still holds, hence: Delete. Crusio (talk) 11:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment This article was up before deletion before and then I added more sources and text and was then approved, please be more specific about what is missing or should be removed. It's hard when it is your subjective opinion that has added this to deletion and you are referring to general rules, no one has complained about the article in 11 months. What does "Eurospam" mean? I've searched for the meaning of the word but could not find it anywhere. --Povlsen —Preceding undated comment added 12:54, 9 November 2011 (UTC).
 * Comment As far as I can see, the article was "PRODded" before (which you removed yourself). There has not been any prior deletion discussion and there has never been any "approval" of the article or of any edits to it. The fact that nobody complained about the article in 11 months does not mean that it is "approved" or something like that (there is no "approval" mechanism on WP). Eurospam is indeed a neologism that has come to be used here in the last few months ("Eurospamcruft" is another one) to indicate articles on otherwise non-notable projects that keep being added to WP. Please understand that "notable" as used on WP has nothing to do with good/bad/worthy/unworthy (see Notability). The EU directorates push people to advertise their projects, but that is not what WP is for. WP is an encyclopedia and all these "Eurospam" articles are unencyclopedic. --Crusio (talk) 17:46, 9 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Another in the series of EU research projects, described in promotional but hard to follow grant-application language: To ensure communication interoperability the project will consolidate and implement according the guidelines set by the Continua Health Alliance. This enables devices connected to the REACTION platform to respect the Continua product certification program signifying interoperability with other certified products. Aside of medical data supplied by the Continua Guidelines, the REACTION platform intends to adopt an open source philosophy that will involve any other relevant data into the platform. This is supported by the Hydra Middleware. Establishing the open source technology provided by Hydra ensures that contextual, environmental and other significant data can be measured and represented at all levels in the REACTION platform. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
