*<small class="delsort-notice">'''Note''': This debate has been included in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Science|list of Science-related deletion discussions]]. <!--Template:Deletion sorting--></small> <small>-- [[User:Gene93k|• Gene93k]] ([[User talk:Gene93k|talk]]) 17:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)</small>

*'''Keep''' Finding a source for this seems easy, e.g. ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=ybQrAAAAYAAJ Quaternionic and Clifford calculus for physicists and engineers]'', which has a section specifically about this notion. Please see [[WP:BEFORE]]. [[User:Colonel Warden|Colonel Warden]] ([[User talk:Colonel Warden|talk]]) 08:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', has enough references in its present state to establish notability; also, the material in the section Determinants is specific to quaternionic matrices and cannot be reduced to the case of matrices over a ring. &nbsp;--[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 16:12, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

*'''comment''' I'm not sure I can change my !vote as I didn't !vote but it now looks fine to me: the results make sense, seem properly sourced (I can't check myself as they all seem behind paywalls or Google's limits on what I can view) and make for a coherent if short article.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small>^{[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]}<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 16:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
