Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plastic deformation in solids
The article has clearly been made up substantially of material deleted from other pages as you note - but that is not a valid reason per se for deletion. ''This is one of those very few cases where  has any validity.'' Does it need extensive work? Yep. Again not a reason per se for deletion. "Already articles" would apply if the information were in those article -- the first has a very cursory treatment of plastic deformation, the second none at all. Thus this article clearly stands apart from those two cited as reasons to delete this one. Is the article ill-written as it stands? Yep. Is that, per se, a reason for deletion? Nope. Is the topic notable? Clearly yes, as it is not claimed as a reason for deletion and the putative number of cites to be properly added is huge. "One man show" is not a valid reason for deletion. Most articles up for a total of a single day are "one man shows" and this is an extraordinarily weak argument for deletion. In short, no reason properly furnished for deletion
