Fast Fourier Transform Telescope

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Potentially non-notable technology. Notability template has been in place since 2008, and I'm not sure this subject qualifies for a standalone article. The New Scientist source appears to focus directly on the technology, but does not use the term "Fast Fourier Transform." Other sources mention the tech, but do not expand on it. Article appears to be based on a single paper written by the technology's creators. Other sources I located during WP:BEFORE mention individual telescopes using the technology, or mention the Tegmark & Zaldarriaga paper, but do not appear to provide significant coverage.

 * Redirect to Astronomical_interferometer, where it is mentioned and merge any refs needed for verification. This is a telescope proposal that never got much secondary coverage beyond press releases or signifcant uptake by the astronomical community--it is no Square Kilometer Array. But it is a published method for radio interferometry and the one sentence in the astronomical interferometer article seems OK as due weight. It is a reasonable search term. Hence redirect. -- 23:02, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thank you for that redirect suggestion. I've merged the independent coverage from the FFTT article to the Astronomical interferometer article. Skeletor3000 (talk) 17:01, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
