Virtus (chipset)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

May fail WP:GNG by now. No actual sources newer than 10 year-old initial announcements. Copied to many Wikis. Did this ever become a product, or was it vaporware? Elizium23 (talk) 04:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment This, from, sticks out to me: It has also been featured in 51 top-tier international journal and conference papers, on top of its other international accolades such as two best paper awards and two best chip design awards. There's a good chance that's exaggerated in some way, science journalism being what it is, but I would be surprised if none of those 51 papers are usable as sources.
 * But I'm having trouble finding any of them. Google Scholar returns several results, but they're all on the IEEE site, which is having issues today. I can't tell from the search results alone if they're about this, or Google is being "helpful" and returning related-but-different things.
 * Yeo Kiat Seng is still around and working on stuff, some of which is 60GHz stuff, so it seems likely that it quietly evolved into something with a different name, and that's why there's no recent independent coverage. &#x2130; mi1y&#x29fc;T&middot;C&#x29fd; 08:00, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment In case it's helpful: VIRTUS (the entity) has been renamed CICS, Centre for Integrated Circuits and Systems. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:08, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Coming back to this now that the IEEE has stopped spontaneously combusting, all the research hits seem to either referring to The Entity Formerly Known as Virtus, or ambiguous between the two but passing mentions anyway. Some of them are clearly referring to closely related things by the same people, e.g., but I can't say for sure that that paper is directly related to this article's subject (vs tangential research that preceded or succeeded it). &#x2130; mi1y&#x29fc;T&middot;C&#x29fd; 08:58, 27 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Thanks for confirming, to me this is OK to delete and shows why we shouldn't create micro-stubs based solely on press releases announcing a new technology. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:13, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
