This article fails the general notability guideline. It has no independent, reliable sources. Sunfoo (talk) 18:21, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page is proposed for deletion because it lacks 'notability' but I found it very helpful when investigating robotics programs for youth educational. The information could be moved to the BEST web site, but that would decrease its' availability to people like me. I don't need 'authoritative' sources, just hints about how to look more thoroughly. This article served that purpose grandly. I suggest that the removal be rescinded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoerTex (talk • contribs) 14:11, 18 October 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

Keep but overhaul. A Google search gives lots of results at the state level, rather than national competitions, but I think there's enough to rebuild the article from independent sources. The key is to rebuild: in its current state, the article reads like a rehash of the BEST website and not a neutral encyclopedia article. —C.Fred (talk) 14:20, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have zapped the link farm and the mission statement; I have added three cite books. There's plenty of sources out there, subject meets WP:GNG. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 21:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
