We already have the article Preselection, which roughly covers the same topic on a more global scale. Additionally, this article has been unreferenced since 2008. Even if refs were added, I still don't see the need for the extra article. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:01, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Presidentman: I have stricken your delete !vote per WP:AFDFORMAT, which states that nominators of AFDs have already implicitly voted delete in those AFDs, and therefore should not place their votes in the discussion on a bulleted line.

Merge with Preselection if the refs are added, redirect otherwise. Useful info, not warranted for separate article under any circumstance. Redditaddict6 9 01:57, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unclear what purpose of article is, these are two different topics. Some content could be merged. Reywas92^Talk 02:56, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Pure OR and synthesis of two topics from two fundamentally different entities. Unfocused essay, magnet for further OR and speculations. –Ammarpad (talk) 07:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
