Hall of mirrors effect

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

No significant coverage in reliable third-party sources, thus failing WP:RS, WP:OR, and WP:V that requires articles to be based upon third-party sources. There are sources that talk about various "hall of mirrors effects". However, they have nothing to do with either glitches or computer graphics, and don't verify this article.

 * The problem I'm having is finding reliable sources. A quick Gsearch certainly shows that this term is used in relation to computer graphics, specifically video game rendering engines.  There's an article on the Doom Wiki for example.  But I don't know if we will be able to find RS to establish notability and for verification purposes. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  18:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I'm saying. This might be a WP:NEOLOGISM, which means it's a popular term, but with no reliable sources to write anything significant about it. Randomran (talk) 19:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Hidden surface determination where it can stand as a sub section or paragraph. It's not so much a "concept" as stated in the article as a name commonly given to an unwanted effect resulting from improper rendering. Equendil Talk 23:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  | Talk 00:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect per Equendil, it preserves it for if and when someone can find something to do with it. I can't find anything reliable that can be used to verify this. Someoneanother 01:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
