The article has been unsourced since Feb 2007. After 15 years, I think a deletion discussion is appropriate. Coin945 (talk) 08:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep, the nominator does not propose a valid WP:DEL-REASON. The nominator does not say which notability guideline that this article fails to meet. SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep all of Coin945's AfDs from today as a procedural matter. Coin945 has nominated 72 articles in a short space of time with a questionable rationale ("long-term lack of sourcing" -- see WP:NEXIST) and no indication of WP:BEFORE, with @Uncle G finding that a number of them can have their notability confirmed on literally the first page of Google results. This is not something the relatively small group of people who work AfD can realistically handle. Vaticidalprophet 11:01, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete nothing here, even with the provided source, rises above dictionary defintion level. This is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. We need to consider the use and history or a thing, not merely what it is, and this article does not do that.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:47, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment We now have a source. However GNG wants us to have multiple sources. Clearly this should not be speedy kept. It should be allowed to stand and given time so people can try and find more sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:41, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question Is this related to a MAP sensor? Says it is used in internal combustion engines.--Rusf10 (talk) 20:49, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Lookup table#Data acquisition and control systems. I'm vaguely familiar with the control-systems field, and I don't think that a "map-based controller" is a "thing" in itself. Rather, it's a rather vague description of a "controller that has a lookup table", and many control system designs have one. Googling scholarly articles for "map-based control(ler)", it seems that most of those take the term as a descriptive phrase rather than a term of art, i.e. more or less a WP:DICDEF. It does not seem that the sources out there will permit writing a coherent article – the term is too vague to be useful. No such user (talk) 08:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but rename to map-based control. This properly belongs as a topic in control theory, not in the theory of lookup tables. Google Scholar has nearly 500 hits for "map-based control", 26 of them in the title. Google Books also has some relevant-looking hits, and there are many others for closely-related phrases such as "map-based ECMS" (one particular application of this technique with over 100 GS hits). There should be plenty of adequate sourcing among them, although the sourcing in the current stub looks adequate for a stub. Although there are also hits for "map-based controller", they are significantly less numerous. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:44, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    David Eppstein: but I honestly looked for in-depth coverage, and came up empty. As I said, most papers are devoted to particular applications and take the term for granted. I opened a couple of control theory textbooks at GBooks, expecting a section or a chapter on the topic (looking for "map" or "lookup"), but did not find anything. I'm not an expert in the field, granted, but if after 15 years of existence all that we can say is that there should be plenty of adequate sourcing among them without anyone finding it, we'd be better off without this article, without prejudice of a recreation. Yes, WP:ITEXISTS, but the current single sentence amounting to a dicdef is not useful for anyone. No such user (talk) 14:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename, to Lookup table-based control system. The term map-based controller is used almost exclusively to describe an Engine control unit, which is an application of a lookup table-based control system. This article uses the name of the former but describes it in the general terms of the latter. I can find WP:RS for both. There is obviously no point in adding lots of ECU references and ultimately duplicating that article. Here are a bunch of references, to show notability across a range of applications.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
