Delete - I couldn't find third-party sources on both Yahoo! and Google. SwisterTwister talk 02:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Keep It's a BOINC project like there are many on Wikipedia, and the Number Field Sieve project it supports is actually quite important. --bender235 (talk) 11:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
- That does show some notability, but in the case of Wikipedia - it doesn't show any. Joe Chill (talk) 17:30, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
- What I mean is that just because something is notable to a niche group does not mean that it is notable by Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia's standards. Joe Chill (talk) 17:35, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Merge probably into Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing and General number field sieve#Implementations. I should note the NFSNet link goes to NSFNet, something totally different (mis-spelled). That needs to be fixed, as well as the red links taken out from the template. Articles need to be written first before they can be navigated. Please do not take personally. This debate is not about if the project is "important" but if there are reliable independent sources in the article, and there are none. Many other self-sourced articles on projects also need to be cleaned up and merged or deleted too. I did a double-take but this seems nothing to do with either the Network File System (NFS) nor @Home which you might hit with a simple google search. W Nowicki (talk) 19:55, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Delete or merge as per above; no substantial coverage in reliable sources is mentioned. Sandstein 06:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
