Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Curve shortening flow
When deciding whether to list at AfD, it is best to follow  to check notability of the topic. In this case, the topic gets 1,710 hits in Google books and 937 hits in GScholar. Here is a http://books.google.com/books?id=ij6jAjpzSDUC&pg=PA31&dq=%22Curve+shortening+flow%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=qHRRVNqTM9CrogTx4ICYBQ&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Curve%20shortening%20flow%22&f=false book chapter on curve shortening flow in image processing, a http://books.google.com/books?id=vWGPZuulmQMC&pg=PA80&dq=%22Curve+shortening+flow%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=qHRRVNqTM9CrogTx4ICYBQ&ved=0CFQQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=%22Curve%20shortening%20flow%22&f=false chapter on curve shortening flow in robotic path planning, and an http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=FQCnOx0PmnMC&oi=fnd&pg=PR7&dq=%22Curve+shortening+flow%22&ots=ub3wQagqIz&sig=Wwgo4C3kPxLOtcDjwLK9agM8q1c#v=onepage&q=%22Curve%20shortening%20flow%22&f=false entire book on the curve shortening problem. It seems like a notable topic. Notability in itself doesn't necessarily prevent a merger into a parent article until a proper article can be written. But deletion, as in no article should be written on this topic, is the wrong way to proceed
