It does not seem to pass WP:GNG, and contains a large amount of unsourced content that cannot be verified. MarioGom (talk) 11:14, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge verified portions into Voronoi diagram. Owen× ☎ 15:58, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, do not merge. Concept appears not to have been taken up in the scientific literature; Google Scholar finds only two publications (one an unpublished report) that mention this phrase. They don't cite each other and appear to be using the phrase to mean different things. Not significant in the mathematical literature nor as something that is worth mentioning in the Voronoi diagram article. (To compare: Google Scholar claims some 62k hits for Voronoi diagram, which currently has 44 citations, so inclusion there would need some evidence that, among subtopics of Voronoi diagrams, this is in the 0.1% of them that are most relevant.) —David Eppstein (talk) 18:42, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: if the verified portions are the empty set, as David Eppstein says, then my "merge verified portions" trivially degenerates into a Delete. Which is to say, let's do what Dr. Eppstein suggests. Owen× ☎ 13:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
