Page appears to be largely unchanged from the version that was deleted in 2006. Appears to be a clear case of WP:OR, with one paper (by Smith) as the primary reference. Also appears to be an attempt to promote range voting over other voting systems, which would violate WP:NPOV. I am confused as to why this article was created in the first place - it was declined through WP:AFC and was eligible for speedy deletion. Then some user came along, re-submitted the article, and immediately accepted it. --Oneforfortytwo (talk) 18:29, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

 * comment GScholar gives a hundred-forty-odd hits over a variety of fields, including this paper which defines the term on the fly. I gather there is a certain low grade interest in the idea. The article as it stands is pretty poor, though. Mangoe (talk) 20:55, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or Merge term seems to be used in academic literature, for example Dynamic portfolio choice with Bayesian regret. However, the topic may better be covered as part of another broader article for example Loss function or Regret (decision theory). Finally, article could be improved.

 * Keep. sufficient use in the scientific literature. (a merge is possible, but should be discussed separately).  DGG ( talk ) 01:34, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
