Not notable. The only reliable sources about the subject seem to be preprints by Shepelyansky D.L. and his coauthors - authors of the algorithm, so they're not independent sources.

Previously PROD'ed, but the author removed proposed deletion template himself. Some prior discussion is at Talk:CheiRank. X7q (talk) 14:24, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep it's definitely an obscure topic, but so what? It's been discussed in two peer-reviewed papers and the fact that they're by the primary author of the article is basically irrelevant. To my eyes, X7q looks to be acting a bit overzealous w.r.t. accusing Shepelyanski of self-promotion. TiC (talk) 02:29, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
