Stencil jumping

The article is on a mathematical algorithm with applications (asserted) in computational fluid dynamics. This looks a lot like either original research or it is promotion for an algorithm that is not notable. Google search doesn't turn up anything on the topic. This was a disputed prod.

 *  Delete Questionable. Looks like uncited OR and may even be a form of advertising for the software company. We can keep the article only if credible references can be found. — Loadmaster 17:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice this before, but it looks like the "software company" in question is, in fact, NASA. - makomk 22:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Even without refs, if it's a known (proven) algorithm, I have no problem for it to be a WP article. Provided that it is not presented like OR, of course. — Loadmaster 22:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Not quite just advertising, I think. There seem to be 8 or so journal articles that reference it. Could be an interesting one. - makomk 17:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Ok I couldn't find those...I'm a little off today. Well, I'm willing to go keep if the article gets cleaned up (needs tone work). -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:34, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that could be fun. It's a fairly technical area that I know nothing about, and the rest of Wikipedia is less than informative on the matter. page 128 has a brief description of it, but I'm not sure how closely it matches the more non-technical description here. (By the way, it's kind of weird - a new user added the same article here and at CFD Online at about the same time.) - makomk 22:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. No one can blame you for nominating an article whose only source was another Wiki ;-)  Someguy1221 06:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
