Canegrati's formulae

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable concept, apparently self-named by the author. There are 4 works cited. The two works cited that are not written by Canegrati himself pre-date 'Canegrati's formulae', and so cannot establish it's notability. The two papers by Canegrati are MPRA papers, which are working papers uploaded to the Munich Personal RePEc Archive – these are essentially self-published and hence are not reliable sources. A google scholar search for "Canegrati's formulae"[1] or "Canegrati's formula"[2] return no results. A general google search returns Wikipedia articles and mirrors.[3] LK (talk) 06:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless more sources for notability are found. The RS in the article would be the Mulligan and Sala-i-Martin NBER article and the Political Economics by Persson and Tabellini; however, the word "Canegrati" does not appear in either of these publications and it looks like these two sources are used to cite more general statements (in a somewhat misleading way suggesting that they refer to this specific formula, but AGF and all that).

- There's discussion on Talk:Single-mindedness theory that might be relevant, although a similar (somewhat ad hominem) discussion can be found on this article's talk page too. Uncle G (talk) 12:59, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless/until at least one peer-reviewed published source is provided. CRGreathouse (t | c) 21:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable idea by a non-notable academic. I have had dozens of those.... Bearian (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
