As discussed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Computational_Graph the very general definition of computational graph given here doesn't match the ones given in any of the sources. The author of this page seems to have created it to explore the concept as they and other people in this Hacker News here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13607634 see it. It is also described as a nascent field even though there's no evidence to suggest this, and plenty against (eg automata theory is ancient in Computer Science terms). In conclusion this article is inaccurate and misleading and I stand by the reasoning given in my original request for speedy deletion: the definition given here is something "just made up one day" in a Hacker News thread and then citations have been added retrospectively, rather than starting from a commonly accepted definition and working from that.

  • Delete Every combination of two words does not merit a Wikipedia article until it meets the notability guidelines, even if you can find one set of slides with it as a title. Certainly if it was, in fact, "nascent" then it would be WP:TOOSOON. But as above, it might also be talking about the general concept, in which case it would not have the second word capitalized.
