BEST HYDRAULIC SECTION

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be either an instructional guide/manual or textbook-type material (sole purpose is to teach a method for doing something). Falls under Wikipedia is NOT a textbook/guide/manual. Declined prod, reasoning was "this is a mathematical procedure for solving a legitimate engineering problem," which is exactly what guides/manuals/textbooks do and not what you should have in an encyclopedia.

 * Delete from the title, to everything, this is an all around bad article. Tavix (talk) 04:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I deprodded the article, with the rationale which is given above. I fail to see how is this article different from N-body problem, Dijkstra's algorithm or Moment distribution method, which are all about "methods for doing something". Granted, one thing that is different is quality - no dispute about that. The article needs major cleanup work in all areas starting from the title itself, but these are not sufficient grounds for deletion. GregorB (talk) 09:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:NOT a how-to guide. Merge any relevant material into the general discussion of such problems, wherever that is. (Also, is this article a copyvio?) AlexTiefling (talk) 13:08, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I also thought that it looked like a copyvio but there are too many spelling errors. :-) GregorB (talk) 13:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * My guess is that it's hand-copied from the cited source. Even one of the technical names (Chezy) is mis-spelled. AlexTiefling (talk) 14:39, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as a how-to. Alexius08 (talk) 02:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
