Filtrator

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The only relevant google scholar hits are to a paper published this year in the International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, which is the paper referenced in the article. The only citations to this work are self-citations. MathSciNet has never heard of the term "filtrator", nor of the paper about them, nor indeed of its author. It may be that one day filtrators become some standard part of order theory that many people study, and thus worthy of an encyclopedia article. But today is not that day.

 * Delete for the reasons outlined above, together with the apparent COI. (There may also be issues with the sourcing aside from these, but were the topic to become notable this would presumably be addressed as well.) CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO and WP:TOOSOON. I tried Google Scholar but as with the nominator's experience on MathSciNet could only find Porton's own works using this term or citing his work. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:16, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: The term seems to be the invention of Victor Porton and there is no evidence that anyone else is using it. On a side note, it's interesting that the paper given as a source in turn cites WP three times.--RDBury (talk) 01:58, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
