[edit] Who discovered zero

  • Doesn't Fit Into any WP:CSD A or G criteria.
  • Personal Essay sounding
  • Awkward sounding title which can be construed as a POV lead on.
  • Everything within it already covered more throughly and accurately in 0 (number)

A clear sounding Delete to me. Karmafist 00:30, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

  • delete Suspiciously like OR, and not particularly encyclopaedic. Anything useful (if anything) could be merged with 0 (number), or whatever the page is called. Grutness...wha? 00:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Our 0 article already has a thorough coverage of this issue and I doubt many users would type this in looking for info about 0. Capitalistroadster 01:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I was just looking at Who's user page, and nowhere on there does he claim to have discovered zero.  BD2412 talk 01:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, but the page was made by an anon. -Splashtalk 01:51, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy to User:Who Delete. This is plainly an essay, right down to the attribution at the bottom, and has no sources whatsoever, making it a mix of original research and outright speculation. -Splashtalk 01:51, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete The article 0 (number) already has a section called "First use of the number" that is better-written than this essay. --216.232.210.161 02:03, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
