[edit] Auxilliary Fractions

Auxilliary Fractions (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Reads as a howto (see WP:NOT#IINFO); misspelt page title; incomprehensible EdC 23:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

  • needs an expert reading to the end, it seems this is not arithmetic as taught in the US or UK, but Vedic mathematics. I cannot evaluate tha, except to see that it is all based on or taken from one book. .DGG 09:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
The article on Vedic mathematics treats the topics lightly, from the same book. Changed name to a single "l" in text. Method explained and exemplified in article. Most math articles give and work out some examples. It is arithmetic, converting a fraction to a decimal value with mental math, without long division. As the algorithm is from one book, it is a rare, valuable resource. Larry R. Holmgren 15:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • comment it does not help that the writing is so horrid. I suggest withdrawing the nomination for now, submitting it to WikiProject math articles in need of attention and resubmit in a few weeks if no one has bothered to clean it up. Pascal.Tesson 23:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I think it has potential. If not, it can be redirected somewhere. Tom Harrison Talk 03:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

  • Keep I agree with most of y'all. I judge this to be a viable topic (despite the very low number of google hits), but the presentation is horribly arcane. See if it can be translated into some variant of standard English. YechielMan 02:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and send to WikiProject math per Pascal.Tesson. This may be a notable topic and even has featured article potential - but who can tell right now? --Charlene 18:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and submit to WikiProject Math. Abeg92contribs 12:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Closing. Given the evident consensus to keep; I'm going to close this discussion and mark the page as needing expert attention using {{expert-subject|Mathematics}}. I reserve the option to relist Auxiliary Fractions for deletion if it is not significantly improved within a reasonable time period. –EdC 16:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
