Galactic Algorithm

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Wikipedia is not a dictionary of terms invented for blog entries, even when those blogs are by notable mathematicians. Only two uses of the term in this sense found on google - the first from this blog entry and the second in one academic paper citing the blog entry. Fails WP:N, WP:NOT ect Ajbpearce (talk) 21:45, 25 November 2010 (UTC) I guess I'll have to take a step back here. Having read the pages on what Wikipedia is not about, this term seems to qualify as one of these. I think having a name for this phenomenon of a "galactic" algorithm is ingenious, but I see why it doesn't meet the notability criteria. Admins, please go ahead and delete the article.
