Talk:Peter Dunn (engineer)

Cant find any references

Aside from the organizations website, there is nothing. the website is rather abstract. if they are for real, they sure look like they are trying too hard. and its a business, not an org. i would say delete it. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Problems with article

Let me see...what does the article tell us about Gamos? It is an "organisation" - whether a group of volunteers, random nomads, or a business is unclear. It does, though, have "enabling frameworks" with a named UK governmental group. The nature of an enabling framework is not specified. Perhaps it just means financial connections? The referenced corporation website (Ah! Gamos must be a corporation!) is filled with similarly non-specific language. Why is it notable? Well, apparently because it somehow "provoked a multi donor action" dealing with African phones. One assumes that this sort of provocation is a good thing, but this is not quite clear. And, further, it was, in some fashion, responsible for a "Good Practice Paper...".

Please, someone, this article desperately need rewriting. It is not really intelligible as it is. Plus, even though some references have been provided to indicate that Gamos exists, there is very little there to show any significant notability. I am replacing the notability tag.

References

I have gone through the six references currently provided with this article. That should be enough to provide a reasonable level of notability. This is what I found:

• ref 1 - non-functional: HTTP Error 404.1
• ref 2 - no mention of Gamos, at least in Introduction, Contents, or Executive Summary
• ref 3 - indicates document prepared by two authors from Gamos
• ref 4 - no mention of Gamos
• ref 5 - no mention of Gamos
• ref 6 - no mention of Gamos

I'm sorry, but I see nothing to provide real evidence of notability. Tim Ross (talk) 17:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
