Questionable notability, as per another editor's tagging of notability since October 2006 Guroadrunner 14:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I added 2 articles from the Deseret News of Salt Lake City, which just meets the general requirement of "multiple independent reliable sources with substantial coverage." That said, it is a pretty impressive operation, with spaceship simulators to teach concepts in science and history to 16000 school children a year from around the U.S and around the world since 1990. The article could use a general rewrite from those and other sources, since it assumes too much familiarity with the subject. Edison 15:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: This looks awfully copy-and-paste-y. Does it come from another source? Are we looking at copyvio problems? Realkyhick 05:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Rewrite. I'm sure a reasonable encyclopedia article could be written on this subject, but this one probably isn't it. WarpstarRider 13:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Copyvio! re: Realkyhick -- it appears that most of this article is a copyright violation. Please see the original article here: [1]. Although it is not directly cut-and-pasted, about 90% or so of the sentences are directly plagiarised. Should we go ahead and add a {{copyvio}} tag to the article?

- Comment First, we remove the copyvio passages, as is our obligation. (I'm working on that right now.) Then, if anybody wants to rewrite it properly, they are welcome to do so. In the meantime, if it should be deleted, it can be. --Butseriouslyfolks 02:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- Most of the 'History' section was copyvio, but I couldn't find copyvios in the rest of it. (Although it certainly does look cut and pastey.) --Butseriouslyfolks 02:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete While I expect there are sufficient sources to get past WP:N, most of the article fails WP:A. Once those portions are removed, there's not enough left to support an article. --Butseriouslyfolks 02:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Per statement by above user Butseriouslyfolks. Considering the need for a complete rewrite, fixing of copyvio, and lots of other issues, it's hard to see something good come out afterwards ("not enough left"). *Vendetta* (whois talk edits)
- Delete per Butseriouslyfolks. Rockstar915 03:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
