[edit] Imprecise probability

Imprecise probability (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I've never heard of this before. May be legit, but I also wouldn't be surprised if its an original research violation. I'm also worried because of possible WP:COI as this article's primary contributer is the same editor who wrote SIPTA (Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications) which is also currently being considered for deletion.

  • Comment Top google hits were SIPTA and Wikipedia Rackabello 07:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, while I am not quite knowledgeable about probabilities, I see this concept being mentioned in Upper and lower probabilities as well. [1][2][3], among lot others, also mentions it. Google search lists up around a million hits. While it may be a niche mathematical concept, it is not anything insignificant. Quite a lot of research papers mention it, it does not seem to be a an OR. While the editor might have a COI with the society, I dont think it has anything to do with this article, that deals with the mathematical concept. A quick google search brings up a close to a million hits. --Ayleuss 07:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Withdraw Nomination If its mentioned in multiple research papers then its not OR, and the concept can be included. I'm not sure about SIPTA though, I have notability concerns with that article. Rackabello 07:59, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
