Article de-PRODed by anonymous IP. PROD reason still stands: "They had a project, they produced a website, they created a blog, they presented at a meeting where some very notable persons were present. No indication of real notability, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:GNG." So we're at AfD now and hence: delete. Crusio (talk) 08:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as undue weight for a project that did not last four years. Normally a merge would be another alternative, although I cannot think of where to merge off-hand. I would note that the conference mentioned was evidently a sidelight to the Open Grid Forum meeting. At most seems worth a passing mention in another article or two, which would not be a "merge" of any material except to say it was funded. Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development already mentions it since it claimed to be the "largest project funded by the Information Society Technologies".

Follow-up: I can also add a mention the the European Grid Infrastructure article. That one mostly focuses on the support for science research, but this was another project that used the related "Grid" term that was trendy during this time too. It seems most of the links to this article come from the ((BT Group)) template, although it is not clear how major their participation was. Seems like undue weight for a small paroject at such a large company. W Nowicki (talk) 18:08, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless independent 3rd party verification of durable notability can be found. Aside from showcasing at a conference, the main outcome talked up on the page was "Gridipedia", an originally named site which now seems to just point to IT-tude.com, which has the appearance of a far more commercial consultancy piece.
