Delete, Seems self promotional and notability isn't clear. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as far as Google is concerned, it doesn't exist. 28 regular Google hits, and some of those are for a different Bluetooth thing. Abductive (reasoning) 07:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's legit, $3M yr/program, it's just new. Sorry if this is the wrong way to comment. Cdid —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceceliadid (talk • contribs) 08:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think - I hope - it's looking better. I'm trying to start to document the major software infrastructure projects in the climate and weather domain. I expect the people on specific projects to help finish that process, and reorganize/recategorize as they see fit. Some new categories would be useful - I feel like putting some of these infrastructure projects in a model category is going to be misleading - so I will look into that next. This new GIP program connects a lot of them, so its a useful organizational mechanism. --Ceceliadid (talk) 22:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Looks to be a notable program by a major scientific government agency. Well cited to government sources. LotLE×talk 23:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Right now it read like a NOAA press release. Gov't programs of this (money) size draw attention... if they fail, but not otherwise. Pcap ping 00:03, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
