[edit] Juxtapono

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

Seems to be a self-published game, an article that reads like an ad, and some bizarre unrelated references. There is a Conflict of interest too, but that's not a reason for deletion Steve (Stephen) talk 05:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as spam. 21 ghits including WP's. No reviews.--killing sparrows 12:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
    • GHITS according to Google, "119 for juxtapono."Juxtapono 05:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete I'm concerned about the conflict of interest. The article reads like an advertisement and that is my main reason for deletion. In regards to notability, you can buy one ebay, and it looks legitimate. --Cyrus Andiron 14:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The references seem to have nothing to do with the subject at all, there is no assertion of notability, article reads like promotional/spam material, and so on. Arkyan • (talk) 15:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT, lack of relevant sources HornandsoccerTalk 18:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • RESPONSE
  • (1) All references cited are relevant
  • Bennett, Charles E., Latin Grammar (Allyn and Bacon, Chicago, 1908) defines the compound Latin words JUXTA + PONO and describes their meaning
  • N. Vincent: "Latin", in The Romance Languages, M. Harris and N. Vincent, eds., (Oxford Univ. Press. 1990), ISBN 0-19-520829-3 Further illustrates the use of Latin terms JUXTA and PONO
  • R. C. Bose, S. S. Shrikhande, E. T. Parker, Further Results on the Construction of Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares and the Falsity of Euler's Conjecture, Canadian Journal of Mathematics, vol. 12 (1960), pp. 189-203. Illustrates the game form of Latin Squares and how it relates to Magic Squares, Numbers Place, Sudoku
  • (2) COI: Article is written from a neutral perspective to directly describe and articulate what JUXTAPONO means and what the Juxtapono Board Game is. This article is no more Advertisement form than the articles on Sorry, Scrabble, Chess, Risk, etc.
  • (3) Every effort has been made to author and submit the Juxtapono board game article as a representation of facts to describe a unique form of SUDOKU puzzle game and to describe the coined word Juxtapono as a new word in the English language with roots in Latin.

    • You seem to be missing the point about citing references. Please read WP:ATT for a more full discussion on the topic, but the problem is that Juxtapono is not mentioned once in a single one of those references. None of them are about the subject, and it remains wholly unattributed. Arkyan • (talk) 06:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Hey Juxtapono, see my comments on the points you raise on your talk page.--killing sparrows 16:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
