Wikipedia is not a newspaper. This is an article about an idea that Bob Geldof had in 2007, which got a lot of press coverage from 17-19 April 2007, and has had almost nothing written about it since. The project seems to have been abandoned, and has no long-term significance. Moswento ^talky 12:51, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Bob Geldof. Idea with limited media coverage that mainly attracted attention due to Geldof's involvement (as you can see from the headlines of the cited stories). It's only a small part of his career, but merging this small paragraph would not give undue weight to it, and is better than deleting. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:26, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Yeah Ditto", Merge it with Bob Geldof seeing as we don't have an article for that director guy mentioned in the article. We have several John Maguire (as you can see here) ^{(Disambiguation Page)} but "These aren't the ^{(John Maguire)} You're looking for." (forgive my quote tendencies). MM ("Well?

Agreed. Merge. When this came out, I created this page under the assumption that this was a big project that was just getting started, but even a couple years afterward it appeared to die off and now its abandoned and I can't find even one story about it since its initial release in '07-'08. I think it is notable as a minor blurb in Bob Geldof's page, but not beyond that. littlebum2002 15:10, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
