The article has numerous issues, particularly notability per WP:N (the article has been tagged orphaned since Jan 2011). There also appears to be a conflict of interest, as the article appears to be about the main contributor (note the second section on the talk page, headed 'Yannick Pouliot has many accomplishments')) Amkilpatrick (talk) 10:36, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I suggest looking at his publications to see if he meets WP:ACADEMICS. You can see his Google Scholar profile here. Tchaliburton (talk) 01:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—(ec) Google scholar results show four highly-cited papers and an h-index of 14, which is respectable but a little low for WP:ACADEMIC. His company is non-notable (and likely moribund), so there won't be notability via his being CEO. Not seeing anything else. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 02:01, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails the WP:PROF test, unable to find independent sources demonstrating significant impact. benmoore 10:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
