:({{Find sources|Sampling variogram}})

A non-self-contained article that requires multiple accesses to external pages to understand. Edit tags in place for several years without improvement. [[User:Melcombe|Melcombe]] ([[User talk:Melcombe|talk]]) 09:06, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

::Note that searching for "sampling variogram" in Google yields either geostatscam.com (Dr. Merks personal website), wikipedia mirrors, or coincidental overlap of the two words. —[[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 04:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

::* JW Merks seems to be an expert, having published papers such as ''[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=38A9g7Ug3N4C&pg=PA23 Sampling in Mineral Processing]''. The word ''variogram'' is a neologism, not appearing in the [[OED]], and so the usage ''sampling variogram'' seems a reasonable way of clarifying what is meant. Debating the technical details of this is a matter for article talk pages, not AFD. [[User:Colonel Warden|Warden]] ([[User talk:Colonel Warden|talk]]) 09:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

:::: Does non-appearance in OED mean it's a neologism when it's been in standard use in its field for a half-century or more? Maybe OED doesn't necessarily try to get into the technical terminology of every field, when it's quite obscure from the POV of people outside the field.

:::Expertise isn't the issue here, POV is. If you look at geostatscam.com, you'll see the POV that geostatistics caused the Bre-X scandal. The same POV is being pushed at [[Sampling variogram]], but not at [[Variogram]]. —[[User:Hike395|hike395]] ([[User talk:Hike395|talk]]) 04:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Incoherent and intrinsically non-neutral article due the FRINGE aspect. [[User:FuFoFuEd|FuFoFuEd]] ([[User talk:FuFoFuEd|talk]]) 04:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
