Draftify. since this article is more than 90 days old it can not be sent to draft unless it goes to AfD. I believe the article is notable but in its current state it needs work. Right now it has no references or content that would help it pass WP:ACADEMIC.Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 04:39, 18 May 2023 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator Sources have improved this article such that I withdraw this nomination.

Keep. Expanded now, easy pass of multiple WP:PROF criteria. Dr. vulpes is reminded that deletion is not for cleanup, that draftification is not for backdoor deletions, and that if they see a problem they are welcome to fix it themselves rather than trying to bury it in draftspace in the hope that nobody finds it there and it goes away after six months. Also their phrasing references or content that would help it pass WP:ACADEMIC makes no sense and indicates a failure to understand our notability criteria and to perform WP:BEFORE. It is article subjects that pass notability criteria, not articles themselves, and the academic criteria are not based on references. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:14, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am fully aware of the rules @David Eppstein thank you for the reminder. If I wanted to delete the article I would have stated as such, the topic clearly had merit but lacked all the things an article should have, such as content and sources. This attitude that sending articles to Draft is just a backdoor attempt to delete something undermines the purpose of even having drafts. As a polite reminder AfD is the only mechanism available for moving article off main space into draft after 90 days. I understand that this guy is in your field but your attitude and tone is not necessary. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 07:57, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
