This appears to be a synthesis from primary sources. Guy (Help!) 19:31, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Neuromorphic engineering. I can't find any mention of the term "neurotronics" apart from a dozen companies who presumably think that this is a way cool name, dude. Article appears to be an original synthesis including coinage of umbrella term.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:55, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Sounds like a WP:HOAX article. SW3 5DL (talk) 16:31, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per WP:CHEAP and WP:FORK. Bearian (talk) 16:48, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't know if this is a hoax, but it sure looks like original research and/or synthesis.  As for redirecting, here's a short list of where the term is already being used on Wikipedia -- Search Results.  One of those pages is linking to the instant article, but apparently thinks it's an article on a particular company.  Other pages have little or nothing to do with neural engineering.  I don't see redirecting as a viable option here.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 10:00, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree, I must have been thinking round a corner there - the content would be suited for redirection, but the title would make for a confusing redirect name (if we consider it a coinage). So, delete.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:25, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Delete or Redirect?
 * Redirect to OpenXDF, where the Neurotronics, the company, is mentioned as the developer of the OpenXDF data standard. I agree that this article is OR and that neurotronics as a search term for neuromorphic engineering is not compelling. But the company is a real entity and is somewhat notable for initially developing the openXDF standard. I don't know if the company itself is standalone notable, but it's role is verifiable and makes it a plausible search term for a redirect. --Mark viking (talk) 17:40, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Exemplo347 (talk) 01:23, 20 March 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Consensus is to delete or redirect, but three different targets have been proposed.
 * Redirect or Merge with Neural engineering or something related to it. also, agree to Elmidae. '''P roDuct 0339'''sayworkproj 08:18, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Merge: not a hoax topic, but we don't need a different article for each neologism that's coined whenever somebody reinvents that wheel. Should redirect to a relevant scientific topic, not the company. — Gamall Wednesday Ida (t · c) 13:00, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
