The result was delete. Ugh. There's clear consensus here that this is a potentially notable topic but the current article shouldn't be kept due to the way it's written. The problem is, the most common suggestion is that it should be rewritten, and that's not something I can implement in an AfD close. So, I'm going to delete it. If anybody wants to take a shot at a rewrite, please ping me (or any other admin) and it can be restored to your user space for you to work on. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:06, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be a school research project, that reads like a report. Allied45 (talk) 09:18, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to userspace or delete. Remagoxer (talk) 10:18, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Complete rewrite. I agree the page reads like a school project, but given the subject matter, it may be better to simply do a full rewrite of the page. Jeb3Talk at me here 13:20, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: There are parts of this "article" that are informative and cited and might be useful in other Wikipedia articles, but as it is it is not an encyclopedic article on the title subject, and reads like a homework assignment or essay. I'm not sure what to do with it, but it should not stand as is. SunChaser (talk) 00:22, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rewrite and reduce. Looks like a lot of work (by a now some years inactive username), unfortunately a lot of duplication with other articles and not on the specific topic. The subject has merit, but the article needs a lot of work. Aoziwe (talk) 09:52, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
