This article appears to be a How To, or original Research, perhaps a treatise for a dissertation. What it is not, certainly as it stands, is an article for Wikipedia. The topic area itself may be notable, though the article does not assert this in a meaningful way. WP:TNT feels appropriate. At the very least it requires discussion.

Withdraw on the basis of the work done in the article to render the lead and other parts to a state where notability is asserted. Fiddle Faddle 21:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – this article is clearly notable as there are a fair number of papers that have been published on the subject. I agree with the nom that this article needs extensive editing to focus less on "How To" and more on "Why". I have edited the lead so that the importance of this subject is hopefully now clearer.
