[edit] Waleed algorithm

There needs to be an article about the waleed algorithm, but this ain't it. --howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 00:22, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as quick as possible. Site linked to has nothing to do with algorithms, google reveals no hits for 'waleed' or 'walid' algorithm. Turnstep 01:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but don't forget to check what links here — looks like someone vandalized the Bluetooth article a while ago with the bogus Waleed algorithm. --DavidConrad 06:07, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Weird. Looks like "waleed" was added between "SAFER+" and "algorithm" back on 19 August, probably just a newbie edit that got overlooked, then "waleed algorithm" was wikified into a link on 28 September, probably by a well-meaning editor, and finally someone created the Waleed algorithm article, most likely via the red link, on 9 November to promote their web site. (I'm so glad I stayed up late to unearth the provenance of a bad article; I'm just not sure I'll still be as glad in the morning.) --DavidConrad 06:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Guess I was wrong -- there is no need for an article on the waleed algorithm (but the SAFER+ algorithm could probably use one). Nice detective work. --howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 16:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
