*'''Delete''' It could potentially be notable as more information comes out. However, as the current information stands, all that "porkchop plots" merit is a mention in [[trajectories]] or [[orbit]].-[[User:Thatotherguy21|Thatotherguy21]] ([[User talk:Thatotherguy21|talk]]) 21:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

*Strewth! It's notable ''now'', as reading ''beyond'' the top of that Google Web search, and seeing all of the people [http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3b.html documenting pork chop plots], [http://www.cdeagle.com/pdf/porkchop.pdf creating MATLAB scripts for them], and [http://ccar.colorado.edu/asen5519/imd/2004/course_description.html lecturing about them in universities] would have revealed. You can find pork chop plots ''discussed in books'' about interplanetary mission planning, such as ISBN 0792371488, and its clear from reading ''just'' the NASA article linked-to by the article ''alone'' that there's more to say about pork chop plots and the mathematics behind them, into which this [[Wikipedia:stub|stub]] can clearly be expanded or refactored over time. And [[Wikipedia:There is no deadline|there is no deadline]] for doing so. Per [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy]], ''we don't delete stubs just because they haven't been expanded yet'', whether that period be 2.5 years or otherwise. '''Wikipedia is not finished.''' After all, we don't even have an an article on [[Lambert's theorem]], which is the basis for these plots, yet. '''Keep'''. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] ([[User talk:Uncle G|talk]]) 23:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

*'''Weak keep'''. Those Google hits look promising.--'''[[User:HisSpaceResearch|h i s]]''' ^{''[[User talk:HisSpaceResearch|s p a c e]]''} _{'''[[Special:Contributions/HisSpaceResearch|r e s e a r c h]]'''} 23:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

*'''Strong Keep''' With additional details, sources and an image, the [[Wikipedia:Notability]] standard is satisfied. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn|talk]]) 00:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

**Upgrading vote to reflect additional details and context added by [[User:Dhartung]]. As it currently stands, the article explains what the term means and real-world applications and relevance for its use. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn|talk]]) 22:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', I've added a bit more. The plot seems to me of minor notability but high visual interest and a hook into orbital mechanics for laymen, so it's worth keeping even if it isn't central itself. --[[User:Dhartung|Dhartung]] | [[User talk:Dhartung|Talk]] 22:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. Recent edits make the article much more worthwhile than it was for the 2.5 years. (The sentiments about "Wikipedia is not finished" might also apply, but it is a moot point now). [[User:Kingdon|Kingdon]] ([[User talk:Kingdon|talk]]) 05:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. Even though it sounds like a neologism, the term seems to be well-established in the space exploration community. If someone wrote an article on [[Lambert's theorem]], I'd support merging this one into it, but the material needs to be kept. [[User:Cosmo0|Cosmo0]] ([[User talk:Cosmo0|talk]]) 22:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. Not sure why this article was even nominated; the NASA reference alone, as Uncle G stated, pretty much establishes notability. References check out, a Google search reveals several significant, reliable hits - stubbify and keep. [[User:Tanthalas39|Tanthalas39]] ([[User talk:Tanthalas39|talk]]) 02:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
