I suspect a hoax, no relevant references in the article... the creators of this article did also write the suspect Chrystophos_Rymannos and Nestor Cheninus articles, that i just nominated for afd Melaen (talk) 20:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I am a sophomore in my college math program, and we definitely talk about the diagon, though I am not sure about this "Nestor Cheninus". Also, is it possible that the sources are the hoax? Either way, I recommend editing though not deletion. - PabloGanon
 * Delete as hoax. The sources either don't mention the topic or are just nonsense (one of the sources listed is the Time Cube website). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:20, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as hoax. Google search finds nothing except Harry Potter references.  Nothing on encyclopedia britanica.  Google "define:" search reveals a German reference that translates to a part on a tank.--v/r - TP 02:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I am the creator of this article and I am a junior studying math in college. I recently learned about this idea of a diagon from my proffesor, and thought it was interesting. When I tried to find out more, I found that it wasn't on wikipedia, so I decided to create the article. As for the google searches: the diagon is often known as a biangle, these are two names for the same thing, as the definitions of both prove. A search on biangle yields more mathematical results. Sorry for the confusion, if after this you still feel the need to delete, feel free. -- Infobiac1(talk) 6:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
