Streamsurface

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Overly technical, nothing but a dicdef. Does not seem expandable. No sources found. Deprodded for no reason by an editor who seems to get his jollies by deprodding me without ever explaining. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:05, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or at least move to a disambig title, as there seem to be a lot more definitions than the one given here. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What are these other definitions and what are these other articles that we'd be disambiguating. Please provide some evidence. Warden (talk) 21:09, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is notable, being discussed in detail in sources such as Introduction to Scientific Visualization. Warden (talk) 21:04, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines which covers the core concept in more depth. Not sure if there is enough material to justify a separate article.--Salix (talk): 21:29, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Different than a streamline. --Nouniquenames (talk) 16:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this is a basic concept from computer graphics, it has made plenty of appearances at SIGGRAPH and would be expected background knowledge for anyone in the industry. linas (talk) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a real thing, and Google book search finds 1,510 results. Looking through those, it seems like a lot of people write about it. And Linas seems to understand what this is, so I see no reason to doubt his comments above mine. Dream Focus 23:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep WP:NPASR WP:SK#2 Disparaging nomination. Unscintillating (talk) 03:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Expandable, notable subject.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep appears to be mistaken AfD with nominator's claim of no sources when there are plenty. Nomimator should withdraw and find the correct article he/she meant to nominate to discontinue wasting time on mistaken AfD. If bored, plenty of maintenance cats.

Speedy Keep - A simple Google search for "STREAM SURFACE" (exact phrase) + "3D" generates a plethora of potential sources, such as THIS ARTICLE, "Automatic Stream Surface Seeding," among others. Article title should probably be changed to Stream surface. Carrite (talk) 04:56, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per Carrite. -- 202.124.74.22 (talk) 08:02, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
