Proposed deletion of Damm algorithm


The article Damm algorithm has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This article presents original research, which is not permitted by our policies. Unless you can add reliable and independent sources, which attest to the subject's notability, your article will be deleted. Thank you for your understanding.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * I have contested the Proposed Deletion ("PROD") as I don't see it as original research in Wikipedia's definition on that phrase. However it is arguable whether the topic is notable, that is, whether it has been the discussed by multiple independent sources. Another concern is that your contributions appear to have a focus on the work of one particular researcher.  Do you have any connection with that person?  If so, you should review Conflict of interest guidelines.  Deltahedron (talk) 07:38, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Damm algorithm until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Why is weak sufficient?
Hello! On the talk page of Damm algorithm, I have raised some concerns regarding the description of algorithm as starting with zero and using weak totally-antisymmetric quasigroup instead of using a totally-antisymmetric one. If I understand correctly, both Damm's disertation and ScienceDirect article suggest using totally-antisymmetric quasigroup and then concentrate on construction of weak ones solely because they can be easily converted to not weak with single permutation. Practically using weak one appears to work correctly and your recent edits seem to directly support this, but I can't find it described in references. I might have missed something because I don't really read German. But as you appear to be the main editor of the article, I would appreciate if you could point me to a specific section in references describing this. Thank you in advance! — mwgamera (talk) 01:11, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
