This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion:

"The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines."

This article clearly states the importance of the subject, not only that but the subject is highly notable.

From the wikipedia notability guidelines:

"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list."

Just to name a few:

The Economist - http://www.manovich.net/physical_internet.pdf
Globe and Mail Article - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/business-education/how-to-move-product-without-destroying-the-earth/article4102774/
Science Daily - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/10/121016092158.htm

If this is not enough, what do I need to add to the article?

There are other articles already on Wikipedia that link to this article:

This article is not currently a candidate for speedy deletion under A7 (although the copyright concerns may merit deletion under G12; I'm currently investigating). Yunshui 雲‍水 09:27, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Physical internet theory contribution / Practical example included[edit]

Dear contributors. The theory of the Physical Internet concept has been completed with important contributions. Also the practical section has been included. However, it should be perfect if anyone can include more information about the american and the canadian experiences.

Registered Trademark[edit]

As far as I could find out after a quick search, the term "Physical Internet" neither registered in the US, nor in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. How come, that there is a "R" symbol attached to the term? 80.110.19.14 (talk) 12:50, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, the capital letters might imply a name of a product, but do not find any. Instead this is probably a neologism: a professor coins a phrase from a combination of popular buzzwords in order to promote research funding. So far have kept the capital letters, but removed much of the promotional cut-n-paste. Especially the grand promising in future tense about projects that have come and gone. Normally articles on neologisms are discouraged and deleted. However, this one might be saved since it has been in use for maybe ten years or so, by a small community but more than just the original coiner. I was amused by this, since I working on computer networks in the late 1990s when we got funding with the neologism "information infrastructure", using the analogy in the other direction to get research funding!
