we were to expand the article to something longer, the main sources at  
the moment would have to be journal articles.  There is a 0% chance  this 
article would be deleted at AFD.>>

I think "extraordinary scientific interest" is pushing it ;)
It is *already* covered in a text.  In fact, I note, just on Google  Books, 
at least six print secondary sources which *mention* it, and a few go  into 
details.
 
You mistake my point, if you think I was suggesting that an article, with  
secondary mentions, even if trivial, is an AfD candidate.
What I was suggesting is that an article with no secondary mentions (of any  
kind, whatsoever) is probably a good AfD candidate.
 
However the main point here is on the appropriate mix of primary and  
secondary sources.  We're not really discussing AfD quite.
