The article erroneously defines the subject as being Wikipedia-specific. A Google search quickly verifies that ESA is a generic term, and is not limited to a particular corpus. The webpage http://regularlyexpressed.com/using-explicit-semantic-analysis-to-discover-meaningful-relatedness/, presents a generic definition:
Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA) is a data-based approach to finding similarities between two text documents. The basic idea is that two documents are similar if the most important words in document A are strongly semantically related to the most important words in document B.
Please delete, as the whole article is in error and therefore miseducates readers. The Transhumanist 21:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

- Delete [as nom] – delete this misinformation. A new article on the actual subject needs to be written. The Transhumanist 21:41, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Not a big deal, but the nomination itself is assumed to be your !vote. I added "[as nom]" to clarify. If you don't feel this is necessary, feel free to revert. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 02:22, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- Strong keep—We don't delete bad articles on notable subjects, we fix them. That said, (Gabrilovich 2006) is Wikipedia-specific, with generalizations of the technique left for future work. That discussion, however, should be left to the talk page of the article. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 02:08, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- Speedy keep No valid reason for deletion: content disputes are not valid reasons for deletion (unless the whole article is rendered unsalvageable nonsense, which isn't the case here). Proposer seems to accept the topic is notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
