Deprodded by author with addition of sources, but I'm not convinced that this can be expanded beyond a mere dicdef. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 11:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep The nomination seems to misunderstand our WP:DICDEF policy, which has nothing to do with the potential for expansion.
One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a stub dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written. Another perennial source of confusion is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead editors to the mistaken belief that dictionary entries are short, and that short article and dictionary entry are therefore equivalent.

And what makes you think I'm misunderstanding it? I know that short and dicdef aren't synonymous. I'm saying that it's both. I fail to see any content here that is not a mere definition of the term, nor do I see any reason to believe that it will ever be anything more than a definition.

Keep The main paper has been cited 246 times [1] so clearly an important and notable technique. There is much scope for expansion of the article beyond a dicdef.--Salix (talk): 21:45, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
