Subject fails WP:NCORP. Most of the citations are not independent of the subject. Others (like the journal article) are mere mentions. The Palo Alto Daily Post is LOCAL. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:16, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Replace with redirect I created the article. It has become obvious to me that this topic does not meet the requirement for a separate article. Comfr (talk) 21:23, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

• Delete or Draftify. Subject fails WP:NCORP and there are a lot of WP:PEACOCK terms in it and some of it reads like an advertisement. Searches reveal no sources that are reliable or independent from the subject. Seawolf35 (talk - email) 22:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC) Struck delete option, draftify will give the creator time to improve it and remake when ready Seawolf35 (talk - email) 02:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, I agree. I made a mistake when I created this article. My search for sources turned up many, many results, and I incorrectly assumed that some of them would be good. I should have known better. Comfr (talk) 01:45, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

  No amount of editing will make the subject notable. I have spent several days searching in vain for reliable independent sources, and I don't expect that such sources will appear any time soon. The subject is one of several alternatives to the failed TechShop, and it is already mentioned in the TechShop article. Noisebridge is the only alternative with it own article, because it came into existence long before TechShop failed. I would have changed the article back to a redirect, but I could not because other editors had contributed to the article. See the talk page.Comfr (talk) 05:09, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

  A few days ago, I discussed press coverage with the management of Maker Nexus. I learned that the production of medical supplies to contain covid was the only time the the press showed any interest in Maker Nexus. Maker Nexus day-to-day operations are not notable. Comfr (talk) 02:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

After almost a week, we seem to have a consensus that the subject is not notable and should not have a wikipedia article. Because I created almost all of the content for this page, and because no one has objected, I removed the content, and reverted to the redirect. I do not have any strong opinions about what happens to this page, and I will accept decisions of others. Comfr (talk) 15:32, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

• Redirect to TechShop#Maker Nexus as Comfr recently did in good faith. I've undone that redirect since this discussion is still ongoing. —siroχo 05:26, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
