Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/21 Century Math

21 Century Math
This is original research in progress and, therefore, not eligible for Wikibooks. Additionally, the content is presented so incoherently that it's difficult to demonstrate how unsound it is. - Inkling 04:11, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * FYI it seems to be sourced from http://www.mathematics21.org/method.html. Personally I found it somewhat difficult to decipher the contents of that site. It seems to be more like a set of personal notes by the author, rather than anything your average user could understand. It almost feels more like the rantings of a madman, since it doesn't detail any practical benefits of this alleged new mathematical method. Consequently, it doesn't seem the sort of work that other Wikibooks users would have any means to contribute to, and thus is rather pointless to put here. If the author wishes to work on it alone in a subpage of his user page to get it in a meaningful state before allowing others to contribute, that ought to be allowed, but there has been no input from the author since April 26, so perhaps we should consider it obsolete. - Aya T C 16:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - Of no use to anyone other than the author. - Aya T C 16:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it becomes an actual book. It's been 3 months without any contributions to the stub. Kellen 01:24, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - for all the reasons listed above... - Serge 08:41, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - This appears to simply be a "stealth" ad for content on another website. The content for this would be appropriate on Wikibooks, but there doesn't appear to be any effort to put it here, and a simple mirror of content already appearing elsewhere (even if it is GFDL content) is totally inappropriate.  The original research distinction is an issue too, although a coherant strategy for teaching mathmatical concepts would be useful to Wikibooks readers. --Rob Horning 12:39, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * "stealth ad" is exactly the phrase I had in mind, but I'm just too polite to mention it. :-) - Aya T C 18:11, 26 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - I agree entirely. I came across it just the other day, as it is mentioned on one of the more sensible looking algebra entries. It is original research; it has had a number of additions made by the person who is doing that research. -MarkHudson 11:27, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
