• Delete By all available indications, it's one guy's idea that has not had significant uptake or influence. The most substantial commentary I can find pretty much says that it's not worth fussing about: The cut-insertion theorem is not an independent theorem and the equivalent networks may be obtained by a simple extension of the substitution theorem. The practical application of the cut-insertion theorem for calculation of the transfer parameters of equivalent feedback system is difficult: the expressions for them are very cumbersome, and the crucial, for these calculations, impedance Z_q of the inserted two-port is found for the simplest networks only. Other than that, citations are passing mentions, and not many of them. Nothing suggests it needs a dedicated article. XOR'easter (talk) 18:27, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
