Disputed passing mention, possible WP:SELFCITE

I have removed this recent addition ([1]), as such a passing mention adds nothing substantial to the article and is only based on a recently published journal article - possibly a WP:SELFCITE of new research. If the combined usage with sensitivity analysis is indeed a commonly accepted major aspect of PVA, it should be easy to base this information on a more-established older source. If such an additional source from another expert could be provided, the aspect should also be covered in more detail - a passing mention without relevant additional facts and meaningful context is almost useless for the reader. On the other hand, if no other sources exist for this claim, this information should not be added. GermanJoe (talk) 00:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References

Checking the references showed me that there are very few public references cited. The majority of them could only be accessed by paying for them or by accessing through an institution. It would be good to add more references or swap the existing ones for public sources. (Rebecca.Clark126 (talk) 00:37, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
