Not sure if this is significant, but if it is, it needs far more information and references. As the article is, it seems a good fit for deletion. &#124; [[User:Naypta|Naypta]]<sup>[[User talk:Naypta|talk]]</sup> <i>opened his mouth at</i> 16:56, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

*'''Comment'''. I added what appears to be the original source for this, a paper by Rybicki and Press (obviously they don't give the algorithm the name it has here). Their paper has 44 citations in Google scholar, possibly enough for notability, but other than a recent arXiv preprint generalizing this method (not yet published and therefore not yet reliable) I didn't find much in the way of nontrivial coverage in secondary sources. If this is kept, it should be moved to [[Rybicki–Press algorithm]]. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 06:30, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' - the article fails to describe why the equation might be notable nor provides any references that support notability.--[[User:Rpclod|Rpclod]] ([[User talk:Rpclod|talk]]) 04:49, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - although I can see citations to the research, what I cannot find is anything indicating that this algorithm is particularly significant or important. Mathematicians who are interested in linear algebra might find it interesting, but that does not mean it is notable, as defined by Wikipedia. '''''[[User:Phantomsteve|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#307D7E;">Phantom</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#55CAFA;">Steve</fontspan>]]'''''/[[User talk:Phantomsteve|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#008000;">talk</fontspan>]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Phantomsteve|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#000080;">contribs</fontspan>]]\ 11:36, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
*'''Weak Keep''' - I've expanded the article a little bit with a couple of citations with an eye toward putting the article topic in context ... albeit I am a biologist/informatician and not a mathematician/astrophysicist. I am thinking this is one of a small number of algorithms used currently in periodic phenomenon detection in astronomy ... one application of such detection being identification of extra solar planets (though I added no citations related to this use). --User:Ceyockey (<small>''[[User talk:Ceyockey|talk to me]]''</small>) 03:47, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', seems to be discussed in the academic literature as identified above. Not understanding it or why it's important isn't itself a criterion for deletion. [[User:Lankiveil|Lankiveil]] <sup>([[User talk:Lankiveil|speak to me]])</sup> 06:00, 25 July 2015 (UTC).
