The page seems to be a publication of original research by its inventor, documenting the fact that patents were obtained; page creator concedes that the research has not been peer reviewed or otherwise discussed in independent reliable sources and that it seems unlikely to be. 331dot (talk) 08:32, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The author's assertion that the work is ill-suited for peer review (because no one else is likely to reproduce his experiments) shows a lack of understanding of the peer review process. Peer review of the results and conclusions, without needing to reproduce the experiments, is a common part of the scientific process. Lacking such peer review, patents alone are not sufficient to verify that the process the author has described is actually a correct interpretation of their experimental results.

Reluctantly, delete. It seems entirely probable that the author/inventor is onto a good thing here, but Wikipedia is not the platform to disseminate it before there is ample and reliable coverage from other sources. No prejudice against recreation once there is a better basis in coverage and some replication.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:02, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The creator of the page had blanked it; I restored it but added an author request speedy tag. 331dot (talk) 13:51, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
