Probabilistic learning on manifolds

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD was removed by article creator with no explanation. The article has a broad title, but the author clearly conceives of it as a particular method from a particular 5-year old research paper. The paper has a reasonable number of citations on Google Scholar, but a majority of them are self-citations, and I see no evidence that this particular method is significant, influential, or otherwise notable.

At the time of nomination, the article has little content of encyclopedic value (e.g., what the technique is or how it works). This isn't necessarily problematic for a brand-new article, but combined with the creator's other editing (Draft:Christian Soize, about one of the co-authors of the reference in this article, and Nonparametric probabilistic approach, another ridiculously broad title for a particular method in a paper authored by Soize), this raises clear COI issues.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: What do people think as a redirect as an WP:ATD?
 * Redirect Redirect to Nonlinear dimensionality reduction, the redirect destination for Manifold learning. Ping to see if the content on this page can be merged. thanks!--SilverMatsu (talk) 07:53, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This seems like a good proposal, thanks -- Nonlinear dimensionality reduction already has lots of short sections on particular algorithms, I imagine that any non-generic content from this article could be merged there. --JBL (talk) 13:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Reads like an advertisement, no evidence of notability. Tercer (talk) 10:13, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
