'''Delete''' per TNT anyway. Most of the references don't refer to PageRank or are deceased. The article as it stands is a barely-comprehensible summary of a single, very narrow application within biochemistry, and doesn't fulfill the promise of its title. It's possible someone could write an article based on 4meter4's search, but they'd have to start from scratch and almost nothing in the existing article would be of any use to them. This is a classic example of the Wikipedia articlee driven by someone's understandable excitement about a single primary literature reference.

*'''Delete''' Most of the sources I could find are primary, and all sources cited in the article are either primary or irrelevant (except ref. 4), mostly dating from right before this article's creation. There is no [[WP:LASTING]] coverage that we would expect from a notable topic; like [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] said, all signs point to someone creating an article about a topic they thought would turn out to be important, only to abandon it. People think up new computational tricks every single day, and many of them end up published; most are forgotten as technology and data evolve. We don't need to immortalize them all.

*'''Delete:''' The content of the article reads like an essay and contains speculative claims (e.g. "A PageRank-based algorithm could identify important protein targets ...") which are inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Someone did a "basic Google search" above and found lots of [[WP: GOOGLEHITS]], but that's sloppy work. They didn't actually identify any specific sources. And, even if someone comes forth with sources, cleaning this article up would amount to blanking the page, so [[WP: TNT]] applies here.
