Unreferenced WP:DICTDEF. I'm unable to find a reference for this definition. This article is tagged as a computer science stub. Order in computer science or information processing (understood as information science not as cognitive information processing) generally does not have meaning given in this article, but a total order or sometimes partial order. I don't see how this article could be expanded based on this unsourced concept; not even the field is clear because whoever wrote information processing was terribly confused too.

- Delete: Per nom. At best this should be moved to Wiktionary. The definition is hard to understand and does not indicate in what context it might be used other than information processing, which is a big field.--RDBury (talk) 04:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. And don't move it anywhere. It looks like a completely useless definition, unless someone provides more context/explanation. --Robin (talk) 15:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and do not transwiki. Definitions belong at Wiktionary; useless and doubtful definitions belong nowhere. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - When I saw only the title in the AFD listings, I thought it was referring to Big O notation which after reading the article, it most certainly is not. In fact, I have no idea what it is referring to. -- Whpq (talk) 12:57, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
