This page is empty of content. "Popular" -- with whom? "A certain class" -- what class? "For effective digital control..." is dubious, and the last sentence makes no sense without context.
If "real time control" means anything (besides the "Real-time Control System", which is a specific thing produced by NIST that has its own substantial Wikipedia page), it can only mean "control carried out in real time". But all control systems work in "real time". The humble room thermostat keeps the room temperature constant "in real time", the quoted phrase adding nothing to the sentence. A Google search of "real time control" does not turn up anything referring to a generic sense of the phrase. "Real time" means something in relation to software: software that must keep up with some external process, as opposed to software that can take however long it takes to produce its result. But a controller must keep up with the system it is controlling; all control systems are real time.
In short, there is nothing for this article to be about. The article has had no substantial revision since it was created as a stub in 2004.
Deletion would be on the grounds of lack of notability. I haven't nominated an article for deletion before, so I'll have to familiarise myself with the process before making an official nomination.
