Neologism, single-source spam. fgnievinski (talk) 01:37, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography, Technology, and Spaceflight. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Terrible article in its current form, but this is a topic of legitimate research ([1], [2], [3]). My only concern is that these sources seem to use the term somewhat loosely, referring to different (but related) concepts. So the article would need to be significantly broadened if it is kept.

@WeirdNAnnoyed, I saw those refs in my own search and wondered about broadening this topic but the connections between these papers are tenuous. I just don't think it would work which is why I !voted delete.

I also don't know who would step up to essentially start the article all over from scratch. If want to rewrite this during this AfD, that would be a real WP:HEYMAN and you'd have my support. At the same time, you shouldn't feel forced.

Delete - not notable. This somewhat generic term can refer to multiple unrelated things. This article is specifically about a kind of imaging technology for earth-monitoring and imaging satellites. I did a lot of searching and came up empty-handed for satellite-related papers authored by anyone else besides the author of this Wikipedia article, JFBolton. I did find some other scientific papers that used this term in unrelated ways (example: botany) but they are not applicable here.

JFBolton wrote and edited this article in 2007-2008 and has no other contributions since.

Merge as a section into Hyperspectral imaging, or else delete. Owen× ☎ 23:48, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting due to lack of consensus. I will say that the same Merge suggestion was brought up at the previous AFD back in 2010.

Delete - neologism that failed to gain notability in the form described on the page. All academic sources that describe it in depth using the same scope appear to be authored by the same person. I'm not opposed to merging in principle, but it would be a second choice as, after reviewing the sources, I'm confused about the target. Should it be described as a proposed method in Hyperspectral imaging (per sources) or mentioned in one of the articles on Landsat satellites or their sensors as a method actually employed there? If it's WP:DUE there, why hasn't it been mentioned on any of these pages to date? PaulT2022 (talk) 12:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
