Comment The title is wrong. It should be "info-fuzzy networks"; the longer name is something people say because they read about it on Wikipedia [1]. Either way, there doesn't seem to be much secondary literature, i.e., things not at least co-authored by the originators, Oded Maimon and Mark Last. Most of the existing text is opaque not-prose. The second external link, "A Comparative Study Of Artificial Neural Networks And Info Fuzzy Networks On Their Use In Software Testing", is a dead link that turns out to be a master's thesis [2] (generally not a great kind of source) supervised at least in part by Last (so, not independent).

Research goes back at least to 2001 - https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4757-4911-3_9. Seems like a borderline case. - Indefensible (talk) 17:20, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - this basically seems to fail meeting the essay WP:NSOFT after further consideration. All of the sources appear to be WP:PRIMARY with no further referencing to support notability, so the article may be promotional to highlight the authors' work. If anyone finds additional sources, please send a ping. - Indefensible (talk) 17:32, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
