[edit] Jones's period proxy algorithm

Delete: This is "original research"; specifically, it's an algorithm that was supposedly created by the unverified "R.C. Jones", and is completely superseded by standard algorithms in the field. Note, as well, comments on the discussion page by other individuals. Kuleebaba 13:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Quite right; Delete. Septentrionalis 03:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The evidence for it being original research is quite strong. No references in the article, I couldn't find anything on MathSciNet (though a common name like Jones makes searching hard) and this sci.crypt thread also did not turn up anything, except that the algorithm is not that good (some of the people commenting at the thread may also have commented on the Wikipedia talk page). -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 14:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the no original research policy. I await proper references (if any). --C S (Talk) 10:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
