Dynamic Reliability Block Diagrams (DRBD)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I'm not sure what this is about, but I think it's original research – a paper or dissertation or thesis of some kind.

The Google hits dance nets fewer than 10 hits each for "dynamic reliability block diagram" and "dynamic rbd", so it doesn't seem to be a widely used term. I have found parts of the text cited in abstracts for an engineering paper, but I can't spend the $35 to see if it's a copyright violation or not. The article's creator, interestingly, is one of the authors of that engineering paper.

However, using "DRBD" in a Google search returns results for DRBD, a separate concept for which there is an existing article. This article's creator deleted DRBD's content, turning DRBD into a redirect to the newer article. (It has since been reverted.)

The author's contact information was on the bottom of the page, and that's been deleted. The first paragraph was cut/paste from this page and has been removed. If it could be cut down to a shorter, readable article, great – but I think it needs deletion. Krakatoa Katie  15:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR. "a new system reliability notation" gives it away almost immediately. The author should also receive a stern warning for blanking content, if he or he hasn't already. GlassCobra 17:20, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
