The result was no consensus. As no more comments seem to be forthcoming, I am closing this as no consensus, without prejudice to taking this to AfD again if the article doesn't improve over the next month or so. Randykitty (talk) 10:25, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Adaptive coordinate descent

Non-notable. The main paper about this method has been cited a mere 13 times according to GScholar. The content of the article was previously removed from the article Coordinate descent because it was deemed promotional.

I am the original author of the method and article. My comment was: "The article explains the concept of performing coordinate descent with an adaptive coordinate system with support of a few illustrations. Citations index is a weak argument. It would be better to extend the description of old and new relevant approaches." I would be glad to know your arguments to support article deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.70.22.235 (talk) 10:37, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Pavlov paper describes the method in reasonable depth  and is independent of what the nominator calls "the main paper" as far as I know.  It would just scrape through the notability requirement on that alone, but I note that Pavlov predates (2006) "the main paper" (2011) so that is clearly not the original source of the method, hence is likely independent of the original source also, and hence also counts towards notability.  I also note that there are several mentions in gbooks results and that a paper by Tasadduq et al. describes the method as "well-known".  Having said that, it is a truly awful encyclopaedia article as it completely fails to give any context to the general reader of what the article is actually about.  However, such failings are not grounds for deletion here. SpinningSpark 11:52, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Pavlov's Algorithm 1 and Loshchilov's Algorithm 3 look entirely different, solve different problems, and Loshchilov doesn't cite Pavlov at all. These appear to be distinct algorithms that just happen to have the same name. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 21:05, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't pretend to understand this material, but to my mind any algorithm that repeatedly changes coordinates in order to converge on a desired result can sensibly be called adaptive coordinate descent. It does not matter that an entirely different algorithm is being used to solve an entirely different problem.  The article currently makes no coherent attempt to define its own scope.  Until it does, I think I am entitled to assume the widest scope possible.  That combined with several book sources and papers (Theodoridis, Glasmachers and Dogan. Hlupic, Tasadduq et al.) directly referencing Loshchilov in the context of adaptive coordinate descent scrapes it through notability for me. SpinningSpark 15:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
