Infinit (technology)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article summarizes a 2012 Cambridge University Ph.D. dissertation. The dissertation has been cited only once (per google scholar) and I am not able to locate any other peer-reviewed publications that were generated by this research. The only other claim to notability is that the technology discussed in the article is used by a startup company. Does not meet notability guidelines in WP:NSOFT.

Delete - yeah, nom seems to have this one right - basically a combination of a non-notable concept together with some "how-to" type material. Stalwart111 06:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's also Infinit (company) and Infinit (disambiguation) created by the same SPA along with a couple of other articles currently up for speedy deletion. Looks like someone is trying to use WP to promote their original research. Stalwart111 06:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Infinit (company), per WP:GNG, WP:PRODUCT, WP:BEFORE. (However, the company itself may not be notable, of course.) -- Trevj (talk) 12:29, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this one. Too detailed and promotional, based on that one source which seems indeed a school project. I tried to rescue the company article, but as indicated it is marginal too. Nothing really to merge except to mention the thesis and cite it. The second external link is dead, but it appears the poster did appear at the "summer school". Best would be to userify until the company either goes defunct or becomes clearly notable. As noted, Special:Contributions/Mycure seems the single-purpose account who created these for the most part. That user name matches one on Github to the person described in the article. But now that most of the promotion as been taken out from the company one, I would rather keep Infinit (company) for now and delete the technology one, then get an admin to move it to Infinit which is now a disambig page for the two (was previously essentially the content of the "technology" article).

Delete Infinit (technology): lack of evidence of achieved notability. The Infinit (company) looks unlikely to meet WP:CORPDEPTH at this time as a start-up, but isn't at AfD at this point. AllyD (talk) 18:49, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
