Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DARIAH
Yet another EU research project.  As noted above, it is full of |patent nonsense like many such articles: nonsense, because its ponderous prose goes to great lengths to conceal this project's lack of tangible achievements:''The overall objective of the preparatory phase of the project is to move the initiative forward and be ready for the construction of DARIAH by late 2010. The preparatory stage is intended to set up the physical, strategic and human elements of the research infrastructure, and to ensure it is on a firm legal and financial footing. The work in the preparatory project addresses coordination, strategic, financial, governance, logistical, legal and technical issues, as well as management and dissemination activities to support this work.''|Wikipedia is not a free web host for EU resarch projects, even if there's http://aksw.org/SoerenAuer/HowToDescribeResearchProjectsOnWikipedia offsite canvassing seeking to make it one.  Being mocked for bullshit, even by Bruce Sterling, does not really make the underlying project an encyclopedia subject either, especially since his subject for commentary is not the project itself but rather the pompous and deceptive prose it emits
