Bob, the problem is that there is no evidence presented that this subject is at all notable. Links to guys who use it in their work is not evidence of notability, and indeed is a violation of our rules on external links and spamming. Has this topic been written up in reputable magazines dealing with the field? Has it been examined by peer-reviewed scientific journals? Notability is not an option; neither is verifiability, from impartial, reliable third-party sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe that's part of the problem: most of what's being done in the name of this subject is untested and ad hoc; if we don't have some sort of verifiable sources, it's hard to make a case for writing it up in an encyclopedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
