Representational Action State Transfer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable concept. The article appears to be authored by the same person who wrote both cited references (apparently the same cited reference published in two separate locations). Admittedly, the author (Joanna Ng, Head of Research at IBM Canada Software Laboratories) is a significant force in Web development, but Google scholar notes no citations for Ng's paper. As time passes, this may catch on to be a notable concept, or it may die on the vine as so many other ideas have. Until we know for sure, we should wait to create an article about it.

 * Delete&mdash;One paper is so new that it's not even in google scholar yet (as it just came out last month) and I verified the other shows no citations. Searching for "representational action state transfer" has that paper as the sole hit in google scholar, and a regular google search just turns of backscatter from that paper.  Easy call due to lack of notability, and a particularly thoughtful nomination.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 15:02, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete not my field, but it looks as though, as far as the literature goes, the ideas has not gone anywhere. No cites to the single paper on Google Scholar. Fails WP:GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 15:48, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete A search turned up only the two primary sources quoted in the article. Without independent in-depth reliable sources (secondary or tertiary), the topic fails notability guidelines per WP:GNG. It may be WP:TOOSOON, as an article on this will have to wait for secondary sources to appear assessing the importance and impact of this variant of the Representational state transfer paradigm. --Mark viking (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
