Non-notable service. Notability is asserted so A7 does not apply, but I have been unable to find any reliable sources. Cunard (talk) 20:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is asserted, but the service is non-notable? Can you explain this apparent contradiction (which probably isn't one)? As for reliable sources, does http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?isnumber=5170943&arnumber=5170963&count=169&index=17 (which is a peer-reviewed published paper describing the system, published by the IEEE) not satisfactory? (Hint for those without a IEEE subscription: the fulltext is available at the author's website, however the connection with the wikipedia article is obvious from the freely available abstract). (Quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS#Scholarship: "Academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources when available.")

When notability is asserted (A7), the article cannot be speedy deleted. However, that does not prevent it from being prodded or nominated for deletion.
The source you provided above establishes notability. If you can find a second reliable source, I will withdraw this AfD. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 20:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
