[edit] Curve transformation

Curve transformation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Described by the original author as original research. Charles Matthews 19:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. "Here is presented a new type of curve transformations, developed by this author." makes clear the WP:OR nature of the article. Likely an encyclopedic article on standard ways of forming curves from other curves could be written but this isn't it and I see no reason to leave this in place in hopes that it improves. —David Eppstein 19:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - not only is this OR, but I really don't see why this is a notable mathematical concept. There are innumerable ways to generate Cartesian curves from other curves in the plane, so why is this particular method important? The article never really explains why, or cites anything. --Haemo 20:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as original research, and as per User:Haemo, the notability of this method would be dubious even if a WP:RS were cited. DES (talk) 20:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Author should find a free web host for vanity page, not use Wikipedia. --KSmrqT 20:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete OR + WP:NOT (webhost) --Fredrick day 21:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:OR, and everything above. Wikipedia is not a web host. Ale_Jrbtalk 21:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete quite a curious article and algorithm. I've not seen a method quite like it before so it certainly qualifies as original. --Salix alba (talk) 01:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for above stated reasons.--Jersey Devil 03:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. linas 00:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
