The result was Procedural close‎. It doesn't look like this article was ever tagged for an AFD discussion and after a brief period as an article, it has been returned to being a Redirect page. If you want to discuss the redirect, nominate it for WP:RFD Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:52, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not pass WP:GNG. After a deep search for the term on Google Scholar, I only managed to find two primary sources (both by the same author) that use this term; both also substantially postdate this article (2005 article, 2018 papers) which makes me concerned about possible WP:CITOGENESIS. The topic is effectively equivalent to the independence of clones criterion plus majority favorite criterion as well—the criterion just says that if a group of clones is a favorite of the majority of voters, one of them has to win. If we had an article for every pair of criteria like this, it would quickly end up unmanageable.

After an apparent WP:CANVAS incident here, I'm looking to establish a more firm consensus with regard to making this a redirect to proportionality for solid coalitions, which I believe adequately covers this topic. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 02:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
