Dowling-Neven law

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A user with a declared COI on Jonathan Dowling renamed "Neven's law" to include Dowling's name in it. Article reads like original research aiming to show that Dowling came up with the "law" first. No secondary source is provided to support that statement, nor the use of the term "Dowling-Neven law". Ariadacapo (talk) 10:42, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2019 October 22.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 11:03, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I find exactly one external use of "Dowling-Neven law", and that's a blog article by Dowling (who also wrote this article). --mfb (talk) 13:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Not yet an established term. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:51, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Move or Redirect. "Neven's law" appears to be the accepted name, so move it to there or redirect to Hartmut Neven. This will let people who come across blog posts find out what it is. Fabrictramp &#124;  talk to me  17:14, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * "Neven's law" isn't really a thing, either; it's one guy's bit of sales talk, propagated by the fluffiest of pop-science "journalism", and having no real detectable presence in the quantum information science community. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 17:56, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Neven's law was already created and then eliminated. WP:NEO. Its a term that was coined earlier this year, about a theory that predicts an event that might happen this year, based on very limited data. Too new, and too poorly sourced.--Srleffler (talk) 19:13, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I've restored Neven's Law by undoing the redirect to this AfDs target and merged to the former location Neven's law. The merits of that should be discussed there, rather than here to keep it simple. Widefox ; talk 08:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC) Update - fixed uppercase.  Widefox ; talk 10:16, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. insufficient sources and COI editing. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:31, 23 October 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete couldn't find a secondary source, but there are for Neven's L law. Widefox ; talk 08:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
