(2,1)-Pascal triangle

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This variant of Pascal's triangle does not appear to meet WP:GNG. The OEIS is not a reliable source, and there is no peer-reviewed publication containing results related to the (2,1)-Pascal triangle. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 23:55, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I think the editorial process for OEIS sequences (but not the OEIS wiki, a different part of the site) is enough to make it a reliable source. All contributions there go through two levels of editorial review, by a designated team of editors, before being published. However, that's only one source, and the other references that can be found on the OEIS entry don't appear to provide enough in-depth coverage of this specific triangle to give it independent notability from other generalized Pascal triangles. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:44, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

 * But it's not mentioned there, and probably shouldn't be. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:24, 19 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete as something the OEIS made up one day with no apparent significance or coverage. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 06:10, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete This can be trivially constructed as a sum of two offset copies of Pascal's triangle. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 15:21, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, the main revision before major destruction prior to AfD. Its coverage in the general Mathemathics field may appear low but the properties involved are extensively used in polynomial expansion proofs and teaching materials. Together with (1,2)-Pascal triangle (aka Lucas Triangle), they are the most related entries to Pascal's Triangle. Notability seems to be underestimated as most use cases appear implicit when publications need not mention the triangle when mentioning its properties, thus leading to a lack of reliable resources to be obtained in a reasonable time by amateur editors. The page (until revision revision 719312774, prior to content destruction) was originally created according to the most recent revision of Pascal's Triangle then. I consider this article no longer necessary as the "trivial" construction mentioned by LaundryPizza03 is true. This infers all contents of the article can be represented by other means without the triangle (using the sum of two binomial coefficients). A personal external backup (if not userify, since the past version is available on the Internet Archive) is considered instead as parts of the article are spread all over different parts of the field, yet not summarized in known publications. Also, the page after the massive content removal (since revision 1098693705) is no longer valuable for inclusion. Amyriad (talk) 09:15, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
