Extended Langton's ant

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

This impressive-looking but mostly-meaningless buzzword salad fails WP:NOR. Its only reference is to an article that defines the original (unextended) Langton's ant, which is name-dropped at the start of the article and then largely ignored. Except for that one brief mention of something else, the article is entirely unsourced and unsourceable. Past discussions have suggested redirecting or merging to the Langton's ant article, but there is nothing here of value to save and it would be a mistake to even mention this in the Langton's ant article. Delete this gobbledegook. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:47, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I may not understand something, but it looks like this article does not describe anything different than the original Langton's ant.Thoughtmonkey (talk) 12:41, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
