Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Porkchop plot

Porkchop plot

Created 2-1/2 years ago, this stub has received only administrative edits since that time. It also comes up at the top of a google search, which says to me that there's almost nothing else written about it of any consequence. Essentially a dictdef of a techno-jargon term with very limited scope. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It could potentially be notable as more information comes out. However, as the current information stands, all that "porkchop plots" merit is a mention in trajectories or orbit.-Thatotherguy21 (talk) 21:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strewth! It's notable now, as reading beyond the top of that Google Web search, and seeing all of the people documenting pork chop plots, creating MATLAB scripts for them, and lecturing about them in universities would have revealed. You can find pork chop plots discussed in books about interplanetary mission planning, such as ISBN 0792371488, and its clear from reading just the NASA article linked-to by the article alone that there's more to say about pork chop plots and the mathematics behind them, into which this stub can clearly be expanded or refactored over time. And there is no deadline for doing so. Per Wikipedia:Deletion policy, we don't delete stubs just because they haven't been expanded yet, whether that period be 2.5 years or otherwise. Wikipedia is not finished. After all, we don't even have an an article on Lambert's theorem, which is the basis for these plots, yet. Keep. Uncle G (talk) 23:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
