Modeling point processes in R[edit]

This article is basically nothing more than a vehicle for the mention of the package 'spatstat'. With that title, a reasonable article would risk becoming a how-to guide. Notability of both the software and the methodology is beyond question, but notability of the joint topic as the article is about is slim to none.

Delete: Seems like a non-notable library add-on to a semi-notable programming language. Mattg82 (talk) 00:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The authors of the package have had a journal article published about it ("spatstat: An R Package for Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns"), but I don't know enough about the field to judge whether this implies notability. EALacey (talk) 15:45, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Whatever else this is, it has no context that identifies the subject of the article. It begins: There has been a major effort to develop libraries for R to carry out point process analysis. There are a number of libraries available for the analysis of multidimensional point processes. This may also violate WP:NOTHOWTO, but it's hard to say. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
