Can find no evidemce of this encoding method, eg google search "Watermelon encode" gives exactly 1 hit - this wikipedia article. WP:NRVE. Note that method is described in the article as "under construction" and is described in this revision as being developed by "Alex Y". The article creator and only substantive editor is Alexy13 so possible WP:OR. Canthusus (talk) 14:25, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When I declined the speedy, it was based on the a7. This could fall under a db-hoax. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 14:34, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- When I suggested a speedy, I wasn't entirely certain what category to use! It looks to me more like a non-notable work in progress rather than a deliberate hoax so I chose the nearest NN category I could find... Let's let this thing run now, someone might be able to demonstrate that it's a genuine & notable. I've given it a week or so to see if any more detail would emerge.

Delete. It could be a hoax, but it's more likely to be a description of the author's (incomplete) idea that simply hasn't been published elsewhere. Inappropriate for Wikipedia per Wikipedia:No original research. EALacey (talk) 16:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not sure that G3 is appropriate - seems more like a hoax at worst, rather than intentional vandalism. Blodance (talk) 16:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
