No evidence that this concept is notable. The hits for "power of a method" I found are invariably about power of a test, or something else unrelated to this. Only source is an WP:SPS published by retired businessman Norman W. Edmund, and does not support the article at all. Paradoctor (talk) 17:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unsourced and completely OR. I can find several hits for the phrase in scholarly literature but all are talking about radically different things. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 00:42, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If this was notable then it should also be in the base page methodology. I found nothing there, so it fails that test. In a search the phrase is so common that it is used extensively in other contexts, which also does not support this article. Ldm1954 (talk) 09:31, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would a redirect to power of a test be useful instead if there are some uses like that in RSes or are uses too varied? Shapeyness (talk) 21:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We need sources that define the meaning of the term. Us declaring this or that use to mean x or y would be WP:OR. If you think you can find such, great! Paradoctor (talk) 21:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
