Not seeing any notability beyond primary sources. Slatersteven (talk) 16:28, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Here is another source of discussion on oracles. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11023-012-9282-2 Krunchyman 11:31, 29 March 2018 (CT)

 * Then I suggest we have major problem, how can an article published in 2012 be talking about a proposal made in 2014?Slatersteven (talk) 16:39, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like Nick Bostrom was a coauthor. I will need to find out if he officially coined the term "oracle" in this context, or if he is just advancing the idea from some other author. Krunchyman 12:13, 29 March 2018 (CT)
 * And that means it does not establish notability, that needs third party (I.E. not by the subject of the article) coverage.Slatersteven (talk) 17:22, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not notable. Acnetj (talk) 18:40, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and move existing content to Friendly AI. The MSM have one source for Yampolskiy's work and many tangential mentions for Bostrom's work on oracles but too tangential for much notability. Regardless, Friendly AI is easily short enough that content on superintelligent oracles can live there. I stashed a copy here if need be since deleted pages aren't accessible.

If you are going to delete it, then delete AI Box and the half dozen related articles that are no less notable than this one. User:Krunchyman 11:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * This is about this article, not any others. If you think they should be deleted AFD, but that question is irrelevant here.Slatersteven (talk) 16:39, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * AI box has four strong "intellectually independent" sources (Yampolskiy, Bostrom, Chalmers, Vinge) while if we added Yampolskiy to this article it would still only have two "intellectually independent" sources. That said, feel free to address any concerns about its notability on that page; there's certainly a valid argument that it too could be moved into Friendly AI.
