Bayesian community

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Zero secondary sources; not notable; article started by the author of the primary source (COI); the other cited sources do not refer to this topic. Dicklyon (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete There are a few different kinds of Bayesian community out there. There is the community of folks practicing Bayesian statistics, served for instance by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis. There is the Bayesian Community Detection problem in network analysis. And then there is the neologism coined by J. Schrager for the kinds of cognitive interactions seen in scientific networks and in particular as a synonym for multistage inference in his CACHE program (see section 6.3 and note 2 in his paper). The article is about the Shrager neologism. As far as I can tell from Google Scholar, there is a primary reference and 2-3 citations of that paper in other publications. There are no secondary or independent sources that I can find. The topic thus falls below threshold for general notability per WP:GNG. Lack of notability suggests that this article be deleted. --Mark viking (talk) 22:48, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete What Mark said. If anything, my default reaction to the phrase would be the first usage he outlined above, which makes this article confusing, in addition to being about a neologism. Ray  Talk 02:44, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree that "Bayesian community" is being used for the article in a novel and non-notable way. As a side remark, "Bayesian community detection" parses as "Bayesian (community detection)", so does not involve a "Bayesian community". Dingo1729 (talk) 04:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are 6 citations in google scholar. However, I didn't find one offering analysis of this work. Merging into analysis of competing hypotheses could be another option. (talk) 05:49, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - this smacks of classic original research. Bearian (talk) 17:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
