Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Circle of confusion computation
Idiosyncratic, incompatible, non-topic; impossible to work on. Dicklyon 04:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Idiosyncratic, for sure. I'm not sure why this has a basis outside of the Circle of confusion article, and I would not know where to start if this material were to be integrated into that article. JeffConrad 05:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - There's no evidence that this is anything but WP:OR, especially since the diagram was apparently made by the author of the article. --Hyperbole 05:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I disagree this is original research -- these are well-established formulas from optics, assuming they are correct. And what's wrong with an author making a diagram to illustrate his article? That's a good thing not a bad thing. I also disagree the article is impossible to work on -- it looks to me like standard wiki math markup, easy enough for anyone famliar with Wikipedia math or physics pages to work on. The article is a bit arcane, but I can easily imagine situations where someone might turn to Wikipedia to find the math equations behind blurriness as they contemplate a photo setup of some kind. Agreeing with JeffConrad I don't think the article should be merged into the Circle of confusion because it would take up too much space proportionally if combined into that article. I think the article is basically OK as is. -- technopilgrim 22:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - unless someone can find a reference that does the derivation this awkwardly, or wants to fix it to agree with some reference; as it stands, it certainly appears to be "original". Dicklyon 00:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep the information on any Wikimedia project. It could be Wikipedia or Wikibooks or another project. It's too much for the circle of confusion article but well worth keeping on Wikimedia. Fg2 00:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
