Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Engineering cycle

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Engineering design process. Redirecting as a softer alternative to deletion. I've left the page history visible, but it looks like the relevant content has already been duplicated at Roel Wieringa. Thanks all for your comments.

Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG- the phrase "engineering cycle" lacks coverage in independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:36, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

thanks for the attention.

The Engineering cycle is one of the most common methodologies for engineering design, especially in IT.

The concept is related to the Engineering design process (I will make a link from there as well, btw).

I mean, "engineering design process" is... a kind of area, or discipline, right?... While the Engineering Cycle is a clear and proven methodology.

I was surprised that the page was missing, that's why I created it.

Wieringa's books and journal articles on engineering design, and his Engineering Cycle methodology, have 13k citations on google scholar.

Google scholar returns 3890 articles for "Engineering Cycle" - https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Engineering+Cycle%22&btnG=.

I added these as well to the wikipedia article.

Thanks in advance for your advice on how to write more relevant articles. Stemrv (talk) 11:45, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this seems to just be a common, pre-existing, engineering design process [1][2] that Wieringa has given an equally common name to. There is insufficient secondary coverage of Wieringa’s “engineering cycle” to warrant it having an article. Additionally, most of this article and all of its secondary references are about design science and technology readiness levels. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:41, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
