Cooperative optimization

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. A vanity article about a single author's neologism. Is this notable? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:23, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Delete Seems like a neologism and the user hasn't cited anything except his own books. Bvlax2005 (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep In and of itself, just because the article was created by the inventor is insufficient reason to delete. The topic is notable. It has appeared in many peer-reviewed journals and I have started adding references to other author's papers. Delaszk (talk) 14:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - This is not related to a recent AfD (Articles for deletion/Optimal classification, in case anyone was wondering. Also, so help explain some of this, please see User_talk:Jiuguang_Wang.  It actually is quite helpful.   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  contribs  08:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Has POV and COI issues, but I think it is notable per the peer-reviewed and third-party sources that have been added. --Itub (talk) 09:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are plenty of peer-reviewed articles referenced to show notability. We should be pleased that one of the leading experts on the subject has written a Wikipedia article, not condemning that fact. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
