*'''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'''.

*'''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)
