I am unconvinced that "combining dimensions" is really a coherent concept as such. My own research has mainly come up with usage from data mining and database refactoring, which would possibly merit a redirect to Dimensionality reduction, but that has nothing to do with what is described in this unsourced stub.

Delete. This is just a phrase without any clear referent. But if we end up disambiguating or redirecting, one potential target would be Embedding#Topology_and_geometry or something like that, based on the content that's there now. Danstronger (talk) 14:31, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. PianoDan (talk) 18:29, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. There is definitely something to be said about visualizing high-dimensional data by somehow projecting to lower-dimensional spaces, but this article and its title are of no use in saying it. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:46, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The idea behind it is notable, but my search showed zero uptake for this particular name for it. Without any sourcing, even a redirect is unwarranted. Hence, delete. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
