International Olympiad in Informatics Training Camp[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Despite its name, this is a training camp for just for Indian students. Not obviously notable. The equivalent math camp will almost certainly get deleted; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/India at the International Mathematical Olympiad. There isn't much encyclopedic material here. The camp schedule etc. changes from year to year, I'm sure. Pcap ping 16:29, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No sources; no apparent signs of significant WP:RS coverage in Google search results: [1],[2], etc. — Rankiri (talk) 16:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). The citations are all to IARCS (Indian Association for Research in Computing Science), except for two identifications of outside organizations that don't mention the topic at all. IARCS supports the Indian team to the International Olympiad in Informatics. However, even though it is a related source, none of the citations to IARCS mention the training camp. So it seems that the camp has no citations in the article. To be fair I did find a number of mentions of the training camp on the IARCS site that weren't cited, such as "Training Camp for International Olympiad in Informatics, 2002"; however, they are all news releases from a related organization. It is also mentioned in passing at iitscholars.com's "About Olympiads". I found no mention of the training camp in secondary sources. --Bejnar (talk) 16:51, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There has been a merge tag on this article since 2007. But I really don't see a lot of material that needs to be kept. Most of it reads like information that would be sent to participants. StAnselm (talk) 07:22, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
