I have removed the deletion notice as the reason for doing so, stated as: "No original research, "a neologism ", "lack of notability", as well as the written comment " Online searches reveal very few possible sources " are not relevant. I explain why I think they are not below.
In the following it is important to remember that this is a new but growing area within robotics research. It was technically established by John von Neumann in 1949 with his paper on cellular automaton but it started to grow significantly in the late 1980's with the work of Toshio Fukuda, Mark Yim and many more.
This page is not "No original research" it is a summary of an important concept in research, as are most axioms.
This page is not a "Neologism" the word and concept is is new as explained above, but neither the page nor the concept is attributable to any singular person.
This page does not "lack of Notability" the axiom is created and used in publications by several leading and highly respected researchers, as shown in the references. it is also my humble opinion that it will be useful and widely used when presenting this area to the general public over the coming 10-15 years when the area matures out of research and enters wider, public use.
The statement that "Online searches reveal very few possible sources" is correct, but it is also natural given the above.
I have added this explanation both to my talk page and the help
Notability
editI'll accept the above discussion as a reason to avoid proposed deletion. Bearian (talk) 23:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
