Virtual organization (grid computing)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be notable. Only 2 references which together do not convey notability. , both old, and one reference is a powerpoint Nowa (talk) 12:57, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Are we reading the same article? The two sources in the article are both scholarly papers; "The anatomy of the grid: enabling scalable virtual organizations", and "Virtual Organization Support within a Grid-Wide Operating System".  Neither is a powerpoint and neither is "old" whatever that is meant to mean.  They date to 2001 and 2008, and in any case, age does not detract from notability—Notability is not temporary.  Besides which numerous other papers have been published discussing this subject, including numerous papers within the last two years.  And if that is not enough, there are whole books written on the subject; .  Please do WP:BEFORE before nominating any more articles. SpinningSpark 14:48, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the updated link to the first reference. The old link was no longer active.  When I Googled the title, it took me to a powerpoint presentation.  I've updated the article with the new link.--Nowa (talk) 17:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep The two scholarly sources provide significant coverage of the subject, and the date of the source does not matter perWP:NTEMP. Also, a WP:BEFORE search reveals numerous scholarly sources including books on the subject. It appears that the required WP:BEFORE searches have not been done.

 * Keep: It is a technology concept with encyclopedic significance. I could propose merging it with another article, but as it is, it is not doing any harm and a merger won't have the benefit of brining its target article closer to standalone completeness. flowing dreams (talk page) 09:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
