The result described at [[Green-Tao_theorem]] was groundbreaking and of extraordinary scientific interest. It will no doubt eventually be covered in a text some day.

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.
