[edit] Maths Short Cuts

Maths Short Cuts (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

contested prod, reason for deletion: WP:NOT#MANUAL, also the subject is unclear and doesn't assert notability. I add that, mathematically, this is very confusing and is certainly not in wide usage. I recomend a salt, only in case of repeated recreation though, see also Wikipedia_talk:WPM#Maths_Short_Cuts. Cenarium^Talk 15:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Agree with reasons given by Cenarium. Un-encyclopedic content. Not fixable. Salt. Sunray (talk) 15:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete.as per norms---Ganitha (talk) 15:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Non-encyclopedic math trivia. --Salih (talk) 15:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Analogous to "short cuts" that guys are prone to take while driving, and that take just as long, or longer than the regular route. Mandsford (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete same as above Nothing444^{Go Irish!} 16:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unencyclopedic, incoherent jumble. Unsourced. Not notable. Unfixable. Gandalf61 (talk) 16:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Unencyclopedic badly presented random collection of non-notable original research. Unsalvageable. Please salt so it doesn't get recreated again.  --Lambiam 16:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per others. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 17:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and all above. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete It appears to be a how-to. Looking like WP:SNOW. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 17:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy delete + salt = 360⁰ⁿ⁺¹. Unsalvageable, incoherent, no chance of notability/verifiability, apparently a re-creation. Speedy per WP:SNOW. --Cheeser1 (talk) 17:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• Is there a reason to salt this one? JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 17:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• Maybe it's not justified at this time. So only in case of repeated recreation. Cenarium^Talk 21:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Re-creation and no conceivable use (esp. due to capitalization). It's just my opinion. --Cheeser1 (talk) 02:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete but don't salt True it's hard to imagine that an encyclopedic article could appear under the title Maths Short Cuts, barring someone writing a book by that name or something, and I have difficulty seeing it even as a worthwhile redirect. But salting seems overly aggressive/authoritarian at this time -- no need to rub it in. --Trovatore (talk) 22:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Cenarium^Talk 22:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as non-encyclopedic; also, WP:NOT a how-to. CRGreathouse (t | c) 23:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Not encyclopaedic. linas (talk) 02:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. It is possible to imagine an article titled short-cuts in mathematics or something like that that could be a worthwile article, but it would not resemble this article, which is an ineptly written mess. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
