Non-notable social media platform. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I can't find any sources talking about this other than those on the MIT website. It fails WP:N. Timmeh! 19:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Non notable social media platform??? Oh please:
1) http://ltee.org/uploads/cscl2009/paper251.pdf 2) http://www.aec.at/index_de.php (at http://andresmh.emurse.com/ it says "Received honorary mention at the Ars Electronica Prix 2008") 3) Do you know who is Resnick??? 4) Do you know what is Scratch? Have you seen http://scratch.mit.edu and how many users it has? (it's powered by ScratchR) Just because many people confuse ScratchR (the web platform) with Scratch itself, it doesn't mean Wikipedia shouldn't give the ScratchR platform due credit!!!Tziortzioti (talk) 06:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- All the sources you have provided are trivial mentions, if there is even a mention at all. Notability not established. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Ars Prix Electronica 2008 is trivial mention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.4.19.130 (talk) 18:30, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, note that Scratch entry in Wikipedia won't be complete without mentioning ScratchR, since a big part of the power of Scratch is its social media platform. But if you feel you know better about educational software, go ahead, I'm not going to spend any more of my time contributing here... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.4.19.130 (talk) 18:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Comment: I'm reserving judgement until I know more, but [1] does not appear to be a trivial mention, but it is connected to MIT, so it really can't be used to meet notability requirements. Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, doesn't seem to be any serious coverage independent of MIT. Stifle (talk) 23:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Upon further review, I can find nothing that proves notability. The sources available are either first-party or unreliable, and thus WP:GNG is not met. Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:12, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
