Not-notable student competition. Not much coverage on internet (at least in the western alphabet). Night of the Big Wind _talk 14:18, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. If NASA thiks its notable enough to sponsor, who are we to argue? But it appears the title should be "SAE Aero Design" ([1]). RichardOSmith (talk) 14:37, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This is in the same league as Baja SAE and Formula SAE, and is very popular in the Mechanical/Aerospace engineering institutions of USA/Brazil and India. I could have provided dozens of sources to establish notability, but then I would have been accused of being WP:POINTy. And I fail to comprehend what you imply by western alphabet; you must read WP:NONENG properly, the reasoning that this is non notable because the majority of sources are in Portuguese is flawed, and is invalid.

  • If so, you could write a longer article then just two lines. I can't see the notability in the present article. One of your sources point to India (only to announce that they take part in the competition), so it possible that there are more source to be found in other alphebets then the western one. Alas, my knowledge of Indian, Chinese, Japanese and the like is not enough to make any sense of them. So I did not search for them. Night of the Big Wind _talk 14:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• The logic that I didn't write a big enough article because there weren't enough sources is again, completely unfounded. Alas, I could, if I had the time to browse through all the news reports. There is nothing called as "Indian" language, and there are absolutely no sources in Chinese or Japanese. All the sources are either in English, or otherwise "Western" script ([2]).
