Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mescher's method

Unverifiable - this is merely FOIL named for someone's math teacher, it appears Hipocrite - «Talk» 20:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is a Mescher in the history of algebra, but since the author of this article has added no references, it is not possible to discern about whom he has written. Here is a source for the Mescher who may have made a notable contribution to the history of algebra (very far towards the bottom): http://archimedes.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/cgi-bin/toc/toc.cgi?page=109;dir=hutto_dicti_078_en_1795;step=textonly-MsHyde 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NOT a how-to. This is a little more than FOIL, since one must work backwards; but it's not a good method on problems that aren't guaranteed to factor. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Link appears to be for a homework set? Doesn't seem like it would be a landmark algebraic method! Sdedeo (tips) 06:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No google hits outside Wiki for "Mescher's method", so this name appears to be a neologism. External link given in article describes method, but does not call it "Mescher's method". Gandalf61 13:15, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
