Branch (graph theory)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Long standing unreferenced tag. The article has '(Graph theory)' in the title but the lead sentence says it's about mathematical logic. I searched for references for graph theory meaning and found "branch set" which is something else. Reference for AD+ formerly given under see also has 'branch' but a different definition. Little context given in the article so it's difficult to carry on. If subject is notable then a complete rewrite seems necessary. RDBury (talk) 18:55, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Or, what amounts to the same thing: redirect to tree (set theory) where the same concept is described more comprehensibly and with a little more context. Then delete the redirect per WP:CSD#R3 (ignoring the part of R3 that says it doesn't apply to articles converted into redirects) since the graph theory part is a misnomer and nobody's going to accidentally type it that way. It's a worthwhile concept to have some material in the encyclopedia about it, but this article doesn't really stand on its own. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:30, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Confusing article. It's definitely not a graph-related definition, and tree (set theory) seems to describe the same notion, but better explained. Pcap ping 03:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
