A non-self-contained article that requires multiple accesses to external pages to understand. Edit tags in place for several years without improvement. Melcombe (talk) 09:06, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
- Keep/merge This is the same topic as variogram but that article is poor too. See this primer for a better explanation of the topic. Warden (talk) 13:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

- Delete This article is a POV fork of variogram, written by User:JanWMerks in 2006 as part of a crusade against geostatistics. I tried to mark the page with a POV marker, but it was removed (improperly, I believe) —hike395 (talk) 02:58, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

- JW Merks seems to be an expert, having published papers such as Sampling in Mineral Processing. The word variogram is a neologism, not appearing in the OED, and so the usage sampling variogram seems a reasonable way of clarifying what is meant. Debating the technical details of this is a matter for article talk pages, not AFD. Warden (talk) 09:37, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
