One Laptop per Child, mission and core principles

 * Reason: Describes quickly OLPCs mission, encyclopedic. Information about OLPC (to avoid misunderstandings when assessing this candidate): The One Laptop Per Child Association, Inc. (OLPC) is a U.S. non-profit organization set up to oversee the creation of an affordable educational device for use in the developing world. Its mission is "To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning."

 * Comment:. Well, this video is an advertisement. Of course we do have some historical ad and propaganda images featured but... --KFP (talk | contribs) 18:13, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I would not call it advertisement. The organization is a non-profit. We do have a featured OLPC XO-1 image already, so I dont think this should be a problem, right? A problem could be people not knowing OLPC and thinking it is a bad advert, but this really is not true. I added some info about OLPC at the top.--Kozuch (talk) 19:45, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that is a different issue entirely. That's an image of a product; it's not trying to sell you on an idea like this is. That is also a FP on Commons. Cowtowner (talk) 18:48, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the video is not trying to sell us anything, it is just informing purely about OLPCs mission. It is not intended to be watched by the kids who should receive these laptops. It think it is just highly informative really.--Kozuch (talk) 19:47, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * We have spoken articles for this purpose, which produce content that is the result of neutral consensus. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 20:29, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't see how this isn't selling an idea; it uses the first person plural, talks about how the kids are "our mission, not our market", very much an NPOV issue. I oppose over this issue. Cowtowner (talk) 04:50, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose This sort of video really doesn't offer anything over written article text and a few images. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:40, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Low quality for starters. Also too much like a commercial (was that it's original intent?) Nezzadar   [SPEAK]  01:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No encyclopedic value and not of a particularly high-quality. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 17:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
