Another use of Imagine CUP
Back in the 90s, Impulse, the company that made the popular 3D software Imagine, had a program called "Imagine CUP", which stood for Imagine Constant Upgrade Program. It allowed users to pay for the upgrade to Imagine up front and they could receive all the minor versions inbetween the major versions. Is this perhaps worth a disambiguation page, or is it too insignificant? -- Suso (talk) 20:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Well if this is done then there would be 70 more team articles that might need to be merged as each country has its own winner. These national winners compete with the other countries for the Imagine Cup at the worldwide finals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.174.155.203 (talk) 12:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- I can find 2 such articles, not 70. Please add them to the See also section if they exist. Fæ (talk) 07:46, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- As discussed self-promotion.
- As discussed
- All referenced sources refer to the team winning a corporate-run competition, which is clearly not grounds for Imagine cuppage, at most.

- Also, the suggestion that the Imagine cup should spawn 70 team articles per year (because that's how many national winners there are) only adds weight to the argument that articles about national Imagine cup winners are not notable and should be deleted. --RobertStar20 (talk) 03:02, 30 May 2011 (UTC)]

- I agree, this page does not need to be here, it serves no purpose aside self-promotion of the group. I agree, it should be max one line on the imagine cup page, or deleted outright.--130.216.24.212 (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- The group has done much more than merely winning a competition though. They have received incubation time in a business incubator and are in talks to deploy their product in a number of countries. They have developed far beyond merely being Imagine Cup winners. This is what differentiates them from most other Imagine Cup groups, and justifies the separate page 130.216.30.113 (talk) 06:35, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- Citation needed -- the business incubation is just a competition prize, and I see no evidence of the group developing "far beyond mere Imagine Cup winners." --RobertStar20 (talk) 00:54, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- To clarify, I'm suggesting the compromise of redirecting notable organisation, the redirect will inevitably be organically reverted by independent contributors. --RobertStar20 (talk) 01:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)]

- Support - As stated above, the Team OneBeep article to the Imagine Cup#Winners section; the "merge" has already taken place. --RobertStar20 (talk) 00:52, 20 November 2011 (UTC)]
- Summary - Although Team OneBeep have pleaded the case that their organisation is significantly more remarkable that other competition winners, there is no verifiable evidence of this. All other commentary above has reached consensus that at this time, the most appropriate course of action is to merge the pages. On a personal level, I want to apologise to Team OneBeep for losing my cool at one stage of the discussion, and hope that they achieve a level of success that will one day earn them notability! --RobertStar20 (talk) 07:52, 25 November 2011 (UTC)]
