A research and development project. Being funded by the European Commission does not make it automatically notable. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 06:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Yet another crystal-gazing and largely unreadable article about a research project funded by the European government. There is an offsite project dedicated to injecting articles about these projects. When any results come from this research, it may become notable, but more likely will still belong in an article about the technology developed rather than the project itself. And until that technology actually exists.... - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:29, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The technology may be a long way away, but the project exists today, and the article is about the project. And references are available to establish notability. See this search. This resource may also be helpful. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:58, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:05, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment There seems to be lack of third party RS establishing notability.Slatersteven (talk) 14:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Optics.org appears to be independent of the project, and has conducted an interview with the lead researcher on this, but it's all at WP:CRYSTAL level right now. Pcap ping 21:54, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and restore when (if ever) project succeeds. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Weak Keep, per WP:NOTPAPER, with removal or alteration of WP:CRYSTAL content. Under ideal conditions it would be merged with a more comprehensive article on touch sensors or on use of embedded fibers to sense material stresses (as they aren't the only ones using this approach), but finding a merge target would require more time than I'm able to put in at the moment. --Christopher Thomas (talk) 22:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
