Non-notable research topic (see talk page for lit review). Basically five papers published within months of each other, each with a slightly different take on the same idea. Most-cited paper received 6 citations. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 23:39, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to appropriate article. The information in such sources should be nice to have somewhere, but it seems they all stem from the same research group, so we have no secondary usage of the term. --cyclopiaspeak! 09:46, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Merge to Multipath routing with a redirect. The topic gets 42 hits on Gscholar, not a lot. The papers mentioned by the nom look peer reviewed to me, so count as reliable sources. But the field seems too new or too specialized for independent sources needed for neutrality and notability. Since the topic is verifiable in RS, it is better to merge content rather than outright deletion, per WP:PRESERVE. As capillary routing is an optimization algorithm for spread routing in the context of multi-path routing, Multipath routing seems the best target. A redirect is warranted as well, since this is a reasonable search term. There is no prejudice to recreation of this article should multiple independent reliable sources become available. --Mark viking (talk) 03:29, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
