Gerasimov fractal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Will fail general notability guidelines. Created only a month ago, there will be no secondary sources to cite for this material. This is purely OR and does not belong on WP at this time. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 02:24, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFT. Also, not that it affects my opinion on whether to delete, is there any evidence that this meets the usual definition of a fractal? It seems to be merely a collection of finite polygonal subdivisions, not even arranged into a sequence, with no obvious convergence to a limiting shape (even if they were arranged into a sequence), and to be mostly filling their bounding box at each step rather than exhibiting anything that looks like having a non-integer Hausdorff dimension (even if there were convergence to a limiting shape). —David Eppstein (talk) 05:22, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Remain. But this fractal is really unique! This article is too important to her to take and easy to remove. Byravcev (talk) 08:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The fact that this is a new kind of fractals. It is therefore very important that the article remains in Wikipedia. Byravcev (talk) 11:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a policy forbidding "original research", defined as research that has not yet appeared in scholarly sources or the like. Michael Hardy (talk) 15:33, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * With that, I will not argue. But I insist to leave the article. This fractal opens the road to a very vast and unexplored area.Byravcev (talk) 18:01, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - appears to be OR, no independent sources, no evidence of notability. Gandalf61 (talk) 11:51, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This fractal is notability in the Russian-speaking part of the internet. It is important to keep the data on the first mention of the fractal.Byravcev (talk) 14:00, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * All fractals, which have been described previously (Sierpinski triangle, dragon curve, the Mandelbrot set, etc.) - are iterative. Fractal Gerasimov - not an iterative fractal. Byravcev (talk) 21:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Eppstein. -- 101.119.15.118 (talk) 08:22, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
