ALEGRA

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Self-sourced (now to a dead link) for its entire 17-year history. It seems odd to have an article on a code using a specific formulation when we don't even have an article on the formulation, Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian. BD2412 T 18:15, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment There's quite a few scholar hits going back to 2000. Book references are meager but there are a few. I haven't looked closely at the quality of the sources. "Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian" has quite a lot more hits and might be notable. --mikeu talk 19:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * If the formulation is notable, the code can be mentioned there, but it seems to be a stretch to say that the code itself is notable. BD2412  T 19:42, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is a distinct lack of hits online on the subject. Most of what comes up turns out to be copying the Wikipedia text, e.g. here. Before having something on "ALE" we want to have something on "ALEGRA"? It does not work that way. -The Gnome (talk) 10:00, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
