 * Keep This is unfortunate. It's not a notability or a copyvio problem, if anything it's WP:COI. This is a novel, but growing topic. It's a good candidate for WP. The problem is that this article is written by the author of its one cited reference.
 * This article doesn't need deletion. What it needs is editing by other, more experienced, editors in order to broaden its base of sources and to expand its coverage. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment This should be closed, since "needs work" is not a valid metric to define "fails WP:GNG".  Unscintillating (talk) 00:29, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - A quick check indicates that there is more than sufficient coverage for this to be a notable topic. A trout to the nominator for failing WP:BEFORE; a lack of references in an article does not establish a lack of notability, for non-BLPs references need not be in the article (they should be but it's not required) - they need only exist, and AfD is not for cleanup. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:21, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   09:43, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as a GNG pass. A quick Google search revealed numerous academic sources. sst✈(discuss) 14:31, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
