DAYDREAMER

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

No indication of notability. Only primary sources given and appears to have been created by Mueller. Google searches not revealing anything significant. Disputed prod. noq (talk) 23:47, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG.  Googling turned up nothing useful.  Wikipedia is not for WP:PROMOTION.  Msnicki (talk) 02:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: There might be one or two non-primary sources, but I'll have to search a little harder. There's a criticism of Mueller's work in this book and he's mentioned here and here, but even if there are enough RS to warrant keeping, the article will have to be almost completely re-written.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:56, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That book ref isn't bad. (It's better than I've seen used to support keeps in some AfDs.)  If you or someone else can spot another that good, that would be enough for me.  Msnicki (talk) 04:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Question: Is Dyer directly involved in Mueller's research? If not, then a paper by him and him alone could be considered a RS if he's an authoritative source when it comes to research of this nature. Mueller is also mentioned in these research papers as well, so some of these could be usable: , , ,  (this one has distortion issues, but he was mentioned in a NASA paper),  (this is a MIT student's paper, but might be usable if the student later became notable). I don't know all of what I'm looking at, so I'll refrain from voting or editing the article, but I did find enough to where someone with more experience might be able to sort through this and see what can be used.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:37, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - though controvercial, there are independent reliable sources that reviewed it, therefore it is notable. I agree with Tokyogirl79 about re-writing the article, but re-writing does not necessarily mean deletion. The problems can be fixed under normal editing practices. Perhaps starting with a stub.Tamsier (talk) 12:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Okay, I'm satisfied.  The article needs improvement but that's irrelevant to the question of notability, which is the only thing we need to establish at AfD.  I'm satisfied by the arguments offered by Tokyogirl97 and Etm that there are sufficient sources.  Thanks to both of you for your efforts.  Msnicki (talk) 02:14, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep in light of the new verifiable, third-party sources. - Mailer Diablo 11:04, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per non-primary sources cited. I came to the article as it was listed at WP:Copyright problems. On investigation, I found that virtually the entire text of the article was verbatim from:
 * Mueller, Erik T. (1990). Daydreaming in humans and machines. Norwood, NJ: Ablex.
 * I've had to reduce it to a stub, but have added enough references to it for anyone who wants to re-expand the article to get started. Voceditenore (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
