Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. The only source used is published by the subject of the article; a search for sources online yielded only one hit, which was a bio of someone who'd worked with them. GirthSummit _(blether) 20:36, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have seen news reports about the topic, of low-carbon-emitting cement and how important the issue is. Not sure whether those were from this specific research group / initiative. This article could perhaps be merged to the research topic, if there is article, or "Kept" but renamed to be about the topic. --Doncram (talk) 19:45, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment. Sure, this current article is too narrow, but it is about a huge issue, can be expanded and probably renamed. Google on "low carbon cement" and there are lots of hits, including numerous scholarly articles. There is an article, Eco-cement, about one brand of this cement. That article has external links about the topic, including to this FastCompany article, in which it is mentioned that producing 1 ton of cement usually produces 1 ton of carbon emissions, while asserting that could be reversed. Perhaps that article, too, should be merged also into one article, perhaps Low carbon cement. Akin to clean coal / low-sulphur coal. And to low-carbon building, low-carbon economy, other topics. --Doncram (talk) 23:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article isn't about the general topic however - according to the first sentence of the lead, the article is about a network of academics and industrials. I've got nothing against us having an article about low carbon cement, or the general issue of environmental degradation involved in the production of concrete - but for this article to stand, we would need sources discussing this network of academics and 'industrials' to satisfy notability criteria. I can find almost nothing about them.GirthSummit _(blether) 15:18, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The wider subject are could potentially be notable, but the LCCI group (the topic of this article) is not. Can't find a single quality RS on their notability. Of the two references, one is the LCCI group's own site, while the other is on the subject area (and does not mention the LCCI). No news outlet seems to have reported on the LCCI group.

Delete per nom. An article on low-carbon cement would be a net benefit to the project, but this article is not that at all. -- a. ^{get in the spam hole | get nosey} 13:35, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
