Article appears to be semi-disgused spam about a non-notable miniature satellite. Only references provided are to a company website. - Burpelson AFB ✈ 17:57, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete The references look more like an amateur tech competition than a professional company but this is still not notable. De728631 (talk) 18:13, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - The article does have a distinct smell of WP:COI, but it does have the potential to be redeemed - I'll work on it later; [http://education.ksc.nasa.gov/esmdspacegrant/Documents/Hokie_Space_Team.pdf this NASA paper] may be useable as a ref, and [http://www.esa.int/esaMI/Education/SEMYYTBV34G_0.html this] from ESA also has potential.

  • Keep - There is a notability claim that can be made, it just hasn't been presented in the article. Agree with De728631: it is the lack of such a claim being made in the article that puts it at risk. (sdsds - talk) 23:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Week Keep - Per the following:

  • Keep: [http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/200213/000020021302A0444966.php Journal of Space Technology and Science (2000)] article from a [http://www.nkau.gov.ua/nsau/catalogNEW.nsf/vydavnE/682FA2570914A681C3256BFA00567327?OpenDocument&Lang=E State Space Agency of Ukraine] journal. Subject appears to have multiple coverage in countries like Japan and US. Pmresource (talk) 11:40, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep The subject will become clearly notable after it has achived its mission, if WP:Crystal is a worry it will become less as more information comes out, here[http://education.ksc.nasa.gov/esmdspacegrant/Documents/Hokie_Space_Team.pdf] is a very promising potential Reference that could provide for very many opportunities for expansion of the article and additional information. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 18:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep This article is a good start on what may well become a very interesting subject, given the potential for more information as cited by Phoenix B 1of3 above. Given patience, this will become a very good article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
