No evidence of notability Jac16888 Talk 11:33, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It has been reported that only 7 google results are returned however, given the engine is promoted as Zest3D, it should be noted that the search returns 64,100 results.
Further evidence of notability in graphical form is unable to be added to Wikipedia by myself until the four days of membership have passed and visual representations of the engine can be added. However, visible evidence of this engine being employed to run 3D graphics on Android mobile devices can be seen at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.io.plugin.mobile3d.Mobile3DTest in the form of a free downloadable application. Also, graphical representations can be found on the engines official Facebook page at and blog:
- Zest3D official Facebook page (More recently updated)
- Zest3D Blog
Additional features to this engine are currently in Beta and used internally within Plugin Games, however, the engine exists as an emerging technology as notable in the provided link sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plugin io (talk • contribs) 12:11, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Anyone can create an app page, a facebook page or a blog, and images are of no use in proving notability. What is required is the existence of multiple reliable 3rd party sources. And as for there being apparently 60,000+ google hits, most of those seem to be about a car, so that doesn't really mean anything--Jac16888 Talk 12:19, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with your other points, the fact still remains that a working demo of the engine is available from the Android Market. However, further evidence of the Zest3D Engine (specifically by a third party) is lacking and therefore I accept your decision and if it is to remove this article, I will ensure that a third party source verifies and reinstates this article at a later date. Thank you for your patience.

- Delete as not passing WP:GNG -- no reliable, secondary sources with significant coverage found. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 18:54, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: I could not find a single independent, reliable source even mentioning this topic much less covering it to any depth. The corporate site; blogs; facebook; twitter: yes, but no WP:RS. This clearly does not meet the WP:GNG. WTucker (talk) 03:22, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - No coverage to establish notability, which even the article's creator seems to acknowledge. (And also seems to be a WP:COI. Sergecross73 msg me 16:52, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
