Testing hypotheses suggested by the data
The result was speedy keep; nomination withdrawn. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 05:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

This article is basically a how-to, and violates WP:NOR as well, which clashes with what Wikipedia is not. Orthologist 16:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Changed to Speedy Keep. With hindsight, I think that this article adresses a substantially independent topic and needs not redirect to any article.--Orthologist 18:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Content is clearly inappropriate per nom, but a redirect of the title to either data snooping bias, data dredging (both in See also), or to selection bias makes sense. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 17:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * But is such a long and implausible redirect needed? It doesn't meet with standard redirect uses.--Orthologist 17:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If a redirect of a phrase that long goes against some Wikipolicy, then that is a good argument not to do it. Regardless, and certainly in lieu of that, the phrase itself actually is used in statistical parlance, and thus is not an arbitrary made-up-one-day phrase.  Let's see what others say.   Baccyak4H (Yak!) 17:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It seems you are right. I'm now convinced this should be made into a redirect, as I understand that it is a phrase like "correlation does not imply a causation".--Orthologist 17:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Care to update your nomination then? It might facilitate the process.  Or you could wait and see what other input comes in.  Baccyak4H (Yak!) 17:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
