Reads like a WP:DICTDEF with a side dish of WP:OR, poorly referenced (to a primary source with a claim that this is where the term was coined). Notability is unclear. The term is used in various works, but this article likely requires a total rewrite (WP:TNT). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:45, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@WhichUserAmI: Can you give any reasoning for your !vote? I'm very confused. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 06:54, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that the article has the potential to be helpful if it were rewritten, given the fact that it is a topic used by several fields as noted by Elemimele. Additionally, I am interested in topics like these and could be involved in research and the recreation of the article. WhichUser AmI 10:43, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the article is badly referenced and very incomplete, but the briefest of Google searches reveals that the term is widely used in audiometry[1] but also in other fields[2][3]. AfD isn't clean-up, and the article isn't so dreadful that it can't be a foundation for improvement. Elemimele (talk) 10:31, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A simple before search shows several secondary sources discussing acoustic immittance, important in audiometry: [4], [5], and [6]. The concept is also used in electrochemistry and electrical engineering: [7], [8], and (a primary source but with a good historical intro. The topic is well above threshold for wikipedia notability. The article itself is a poorly referenced stub, but the content is fine as far as it goes. A notable subject and a stub with the WP:POTENTIAL for improvement leads to an obvious keep recommendation. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:47, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A widely recognized concept that should be described on WP. Neither impedance nor admittance is a suitable redirect target. catslash (talk) 18:54, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw. Given the comments above, including a possibility that User:WhichUserAmI may improve this article, and sources found by others, I am happy to withdraw this AfD. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:24, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
