Texture advection

Deprodded by author with source (see talk page) but I'm not convinced that this is worthy. This just seems like an un-expandable dicdef. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 11:01, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep The nomination seems to misunderstand our WP:DICDEF policy, which has nothing to do with the potential for expansion. One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a stub dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written. Another perennial source of confusion is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead editors to the mistaken belief that dictionary entries are short, and that short article and dictionary entry are therefore equivalent.

 * And what makes you think I'm misunderstanding it? I know that short and dicdef aren't synonymous. I'm saying that it's both. I fail to see any content here that is not a mere definition of the term, nor do I see any reason to believe that it will ever be anything more than a definition.

 * Keep if we look at the helpful scholar link handily provided by the afd templates it is quickly revealed that Texture advection is a topic with a lot of academic interest with some highly cited papers. While there is certainly enough to make a larger article, it might be preferable for now to combine this Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection, and Image-based flow visualization, which are all variations on a theme, together in a single article or posibly a section in Flow visualization‎.--Salix (talk): 19:18, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep – Easily passes WP:GNG. These articles are all from page one of the Google Scholar link above here. This topic is clearly well-beyond a dictionary definition. I've also added these sources to the article:
