Lihn's law
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be neologism, based on a single, recent, unpublished working paper (here). The paper itself does not appear to use the term "Lihn's law", and a Google search and a Google Scholar search don't turn up anything except Wikipedia. C RETOG 8(t/c) 03:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Lack of reliable sources. Steve Dufour (talk) 07:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing at Google Books, Google News Archive, or Google Scholar for "Lihn's Law." You don't get an encyclopedia article about a "law" you've discovered just because you published an write an unpublished article about it. Fails notability. Edison (talk) 21:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about this. I did not know that I am writing this article for encyclopedia quality. I just thought the existing network effect laws are very flawed (pretty wrong) and the community should know that there is a different power law based on solid stochastic calculus. Anyway, if you guys don't like it, feel free to delete it. No argument about it. I don't make a living off writing papers. -- SteveLihn —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevelihn (talk • contribs) 23:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

With regards to the name of the power law, people are using the discover's last name to call the law. Otherwise, how else should it be called? "N^3/2 power law"? Anyway, again feel free to delete it... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevelihn (talk • contribs) 23:15, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
