Fails GNG. The article is currently an amalgamation of primary sources and non-notable pictures. The only secondary sources are those that discuss Turing himself; this material is already discussed in the main Turing machine article, which also contains pictures of physical implementations. The primary sources are not important enough to merge into the main article. My PROD was previously removed. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:53, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There has been some research in computer science education on visual representations of Turing machines or on ways of making Turing machines accessible through other senses; https://doi.org/10.1109/VL.1993.269602 and https://doi.org/10.1145/2157136.2157190 are examples. So there might be some scope for an article with this title, but I don't think any of the present content is salvageable or useful for turning this into a proper article. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article was titled "Turing machine gallery" until it was moved a week ago. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:51, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
