Fails WP:GNG as lacks reliable secondary sources providing significant coverage which address the nominal topic directly and in detail. Of the two cited sources, Pearce quotes a blog comment about the tree but gives no further detail about it, Mann's book makes no mention of this specific tree. It's a minor part of controversy covered in the hockey stick graph article, and might be merged into that article, subject to care to avoid giving undue weight to one specific claim. dave souza, talk 10:33, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not an article. --Hob Gadling (talk) 13:46, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete specific mention of tree with the name is not there in any of the sources. Fails GNG, and not need for redirect to a trivial matter of controversy about Hockey Stick graph. Roller26 (talk) 15:44, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Hockey stick graph There is nothing to merge that is not already covered there and no evidence that there is any notability separate from the parent article. It is just possible that this is a plausible search term. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:11, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – think that redirect would go against WP:R#ASTONISH as it will give this tree name undue weight if it's given any mention in the hockey stick graph article. A better redirect would be to Steve McIntyre as he brought the name "YAD06" to public attention, and if the name [and specific controversy] is to be explained that would have more appropriate weight in his biography. Not convinced there's a need for a redirect. . . dave souza, talk 10:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per nom. Lean towards no on redirect to Hockey stick graph unless someone can show it's a meaningful search term. // Timothy :: talk 17:17, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
