The result was keep. Consensus is for the article to be retained. Some participants herein have also opined for a potential merge, which can be discussed on an article talk page if desired. North America100005:46, 10 September 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete: Stated to be an aeronautical term but it is definitely not in use in mainstream aeronautical literature. This article was initiated nearly a decade ago but has since been abandoned in a poor state.

Keep The article may have been in an
imperfect state since 2007, but
this discussion on StackExchange demonstrates that it has been useful to others. It gets
600 visits a month, which is not bad for such a specialised topic. The effect is real, non-trivial, of interest to a wider audience -
[1],
[2], and the information can be verified in reliable sources. The current wording may be a little technical, but we
don't require every article to accessible to general audience. A quick search shows that the term is commonly used by aviators.

@
TenPoundHammer: It is a specialist aviation topic, so you won't find it in general news. Some specialist publications use it as a term, some have more detail, I would compare this to a mathematical topic. See.[1][2][3] Note also that this topic is referred to as 'pendulum effect' or pendulum 'stability'
I've been an aeronautical engineer and pilot for close to four decades and I've never heard of it. It's probably notable in naval architecture, but it isn't in aeronautics.

Weak keep As stated above, a merge would likely be best, but if not accomplished I suppose it wouldn't hurt to keep - that is, with proper upkeep. This article seems to have been left for dead, but I can see it having its uses in some medium!
