The result was   keep. This is difficult as it in part appears to be a "method" being pushed by an individual company more than anything else. Weak consensus after multiple relists appears at this for Keep ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 11:05, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Systematic inventive thinking

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable thinking method. Refs are sources for the method, not evidence that it is notable. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:52, 11 May 2012 (UTC) &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:52, 11 May 2012 (UTC)


 * As notability guidelines specify: "… there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability". In my case the topic is a well-known innovation methodology, derived from another (and better known) innovation methodology named TRIZ (which also has an article of its own, and mentioned SIT in it, long before this article has been created). This methodology has been developed by two Israeli academic figures, and is being taught in various academic institutions as a creative problem solving and NPD methodology. Furthermore, the content which I've cited is based on various journals (namely Harvard Business Review, Science magazine, Marketing Research, etc.). Also, google's search results shows Google's Scholarly articles (all cited by other Scholarly articles), all of which I've used to cite in my article. Therefore, I fail to see why all the above doesn't account for an evidence for "significant attention from independent sources". Please clarify if (and which) other actions are ought to be taken in order to verify notability. Thanks! Danedt (talk • contribs) 12:39, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. No case to answer here. 1) the article is already cited with several reliable sources. 2) Systematic Inventive Thinking: a new tool for the analysis of complex problems in medical management, Heymann et al 2004 is an RS and it shows the technique has been around since 2000 and has been studied scientifically. 3) Systematic Inventive Thinking Method Based on Theory of Constraints, Jiang and Li, 2010 4)Several training companies offer SIT among other techniques, so they are not tied to SIT specifically, and it is widely taught as indeed the article claims.

 * Keep ‣ More than a hundred Google Scholar hits, dozens of Google Books hits, and dozens of Google News hits. This topic easily satisfies notability standards, though the article should probably note that there is an Israeli company with the same name involved in researching and promoting the method, especially if this is the company of the method's developers. -- ▸∮ truthious ᛔ andersnatch ◂ 13:32, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
