Article seems to be mainly just a way to advertise a non-notable foundation. Also, the creator (User:Bizzwriter) has a COI given his profession, which can be seen at his LinkedIn account. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The point here is that we need a well-above average impact on the world before it can show up in an encyclopedia. Student7 (talk) 00:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No indication that either entity has had significant impact on culture, technology, or history. Both read like PR puff pieces. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
