I don't know if I should thank you for proposing a new name for cyclomatic complexity back in 2007, but I've removed your proposal as contrary to WP:SYNTH. It looks like one or two book authors did like your proposed name, but that's WP:CIRCULAR referencing for now, as they cited Wikipedia as source. Your proposal might take off in academia after all. 188.27.81.64 (talk) 23:01, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Also, your proposed name is correct/reasonable only for structured programs, but plain wrong/misleading if the programs contain a break etc. The snippet you quoted from the paper in support of your proposed name ("it has been found to be more convenient to count conditions instead of predicates when calculating complexity") only works as a computation shortcut for structured programs; one can't use that shortcut to compute the cyclomatic complexity of non-structured programs. And these are aplenty nowadays because the "multi-exit" camp has practically won. 188.27.81.64 (talk) 03:04, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
