515:′′′′′In response to suggestions by Cathy and Ravenswing, sentences that appeared promotional were re-worded and additional information is highly factual. Ravenswing and sistertwister both wanted more references from national and major news sources. References have been added for ABCNews, CBS affiliate WBZ, Nature, Sailing World, American Chemical Society, Chemistry and Engineering News, a Knowledge (XXG) article, and Boston Globe. Note at least one link to the organizational website is to enable a Johns Hopkins Imagine Magazine article pdf file to be read. References to local schools are to not only Dana Hall Prep School, but also to MIT, Northeastern University, and Yale which, although local to those from the Boston area, are world-ranked higher education institutions.′′′ 497:- I had been considering whether to comment but after performing some searches, it seems the amount of good sources for this may be less than shown. Searches at News, Books and Scholar found nothing significant and in-depth. The article is neat and sourced but there doesn't appear to be more sources aside from the current ones. 340:
Deletion is a drastic step. The article now has 19 references including links to feature articles on, and mentions of, the organization contained in such reputable sources as Johns Hopkins University, New York Times subsidiary about.com, Northeastern University Marine Science Center, and three local

from reliable media sources: while the wickedlocal.com is the home site of Gatehouse Media, which owns most of the small city dailies and weeklies in the region, the citation is to a two-article press release. The Citizen-Herald article is long, but that paper's a local tabloid weekly of the sort

newspapers from top-ranked Boston area school districts. Moreover, there appears to be a double standard at work. A program in a comparable arena, Internal drive (Idtech) summer program, contain only one reference and four external links. No one is suggesting that article should be deleted.
539:- the "sources" in the article are the subject's own website, directories, press releases, listings that do not mention this institution at all, and even other Knowledge (XXG) articles. Searches don't yield any coverage in RS. 164: 467:
Indeed, the article has 18 references, but they're soft as mush: a horde of blogposts, the subject's own website, local school sites, press releases, casual mentions and the like. What's missing is

Beyond that, it's written in a blatantly promotional style, and was created and has been edited by several SPAs, some of whom have commented here; I wonder if there's a COI issue at work.

I agree with the comment immediately above this one. Be consistent. This article has room for improvement.
