The article has been unsourced since Feb 2007. After 15 years, I think a deletion discussion is appropriate. Coin945 (talk) 08:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep, the nominator does not propose a valid
  WP:DEL-REASON. The nominator does not say which notability guideline that this article fails to meet. SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Speedy keep all of Coin945's AfDs from today as a procedural matter. Coin945 has nominated 72 articles in a short space of time with a questionable rationale ("long-term lack of sourcing" -- see
  WP:BEFORE, with @Uncle G finding that a number of them can have their notability confirmed on literally the first page of Google results. This is not something the relatively small group of people who work AfD can realistically handle. Vaticidalprophet 11:01, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Delete nothing here, even with the provided source, rises above dictionary defintion level. This is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. We need to consider the use and history or a thing, not merely what it is, and this article does not do that.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:47, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment We now have a source. However GNG wants us to have multiple sources. Clearly this should not be speedy kept. It should be allowed to stand and given time so people can try and find more sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:41, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but rename to map-based control. This properly belongs as a topic in control theory, not in the theory of lookup tables. Google Scholar has nearly 500 hits for "map-based control", 26 of them in the title. Google Books also has some relevant-looking hits, and there are many others for closely-related phrases such as "map-based ECMS" (one particular application of this technique with over 100 GS hits). There should be plenty of adequate sourcing among them, although the sourcing in the current stub looks adequate for a stub. Although there are also hits for "map-based controller", they are significantly less numerous. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:44, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and rename, to
  WP:RS for both. There is obviously no point in adding lots of ECU references and ultimately duplicating that article. Here are a bunch of references, to show notability across a range of applications.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]}
