According to it's blurb this project "brings the success stories of Europe's e-infrastructure to a wider audience." In other words it's a press office / awareness and publicity engine for other EU funded projects. None of the references amount to in-depth coverage by independent sources, many amount to entries in directories of projects; websites which are part of E-ScienceTalk or partner projects; or they don't even mention E-ScienceTalk at all. E-Science City, a sub-project of E-ScienceTalk was recently deleted with the rationale of "Non-notable short-term funded EU project. Many references, hardly any of which mention the subject by name and those that do are either not independent or only contain a blurb with no in-depth coverage. We have a long history of deleting such projects at AfD, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/COMET (EU project), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PARSIFAL Project EU, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inter2Geo, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Scape project, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pol-primett (project), etc." All of that applies to this parent too.

delete insufficient sources to meet WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 14:27, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

important note Before this was relisted, a non-admin close was done. The closer was asked to reverse their actions and they relisted the debate but failed to restore the AFD tag to the article, which I have only done just now. Therefore a second relist may be required as the article was not tagged for a good part of this week. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
