[edit] Timed automata

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Timed automata, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

In response to your message: Of course I can't see the article any more.... but my main reason was that it didn't seem to have a published source that used that name for the device. It seemed like a kind of cute trick to teach kids about ways to measure events, but I didn't see any evidence from the article that it was something that had some practical application in some context, or had been described in a way that satisfied notability according to WP:N. The reason it came to my attention was that it didn't link to any other Wikipedia article - I'm scanning through a lot of those articles, and suggesting deletion where I find serious reason to believe it doesn't satisfy the notability criteria. Hope this makes it clearer! --Alvestrand 17:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
