 * Delete Can't find anything good to merge it into. The only on-line reference in the article seems to be a dead link. Couldn't find any other references. Looks like non-notable theory and jargon. Dingo1729 (talk) 15:50, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * There is at least one other (unrelated) MARS model, Multivariate adaptive regression splines which confuses searches. Dingo1729 (talk) 15:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete It doesn't seem to be a neologism; the MARS model is described in the book "Organizational Behavior" and slides based on the book. But I have not been able to find in-depth sources for the topic outside of this book or the author Steven McShane. It may be that the concept is not widespread. The book and slides count as a reliable source, as it is published by McGraw-Hill, a reputable publisher. But I could not find any others. At present it seems below the threshold for general notability. But there is no prejudice to recreation if more reliable sources become available. --Mark viking (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
