This article has no references and seems to be original research, or possibly an incomprehensible hoax. It seems to fail WP:GNG. - Mr X 02:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Beyond a vague definition, it's not clear what a page on self-explaining would be about. "Self-explaining" shows hits on Google, but the trouble is that it is an adjective that is used in a lot of different ways. In the Netherlands some talk of self-explaining roads, educators talk of self-explaining as a meta-cognitive strategy for learning. The artificial reasoner part of the definition might be confusing self-explaining with self-describing, a term used with data formats like HDF5 to indicate that headers describe the data contents. There seems to be no dominant uses of the term that references could be gathered for, making the article unverifiable. Adjectives like Large have their own disambiguation page. If suitable links could be found, perhaps it would be best to turn this into a disambiguation page for some known uses of the term? Mark viking (talk) 04:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
