Keep. Appears to pass WP:SIGCOV. There are offline sources at the bottom of the article. The page has existed in mainspace for the last 12 years, and it does need inline citations. Without engaging with the sources, I am not seeing a strong argument here that the article is in fact original research or non-notable. We need an in-depth analysis of the sources to prove the claim of original research.4meter4 (talk) 19:48, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no evidence that the bunch of publications at the bottom support the text and I dont think anybody is in a posittion to analyze this text. Lokys dar Vienas (talk) 19:51, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Open-channel flow is the notable topic. Here, a student used their textbooks and professor's course notes to write up the mathematical derivation process of the relationships between between energy and depth in open-channel flow and made their own plots to go with it. No part of this article established how the dimensionless energy diagrams are themselves notable or why Wikipedia is the place to publish homework. Unsurprising that it's been here for 12 years since the only page that links to it is their classmate's Dimensionless momentum-depth relationship in open-channel flow.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete This appears to have been copied verbatim from a text-book. There are no inline sources, nor does it really explain what this does or why we need to know it. High-level engineering is fine, but you should at least summarize what it is so a lay person can see if the article is useful. Oaktree b (talk) 20:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
