Human-based computation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

original research - a synthesis of a number of publications in man-machine interaction to present a neologistic concept, which has a whoooppping 35 unique google hits. NOt to say that the term is clueless, too. I gather, human based computation has a history of millenia :-) `'Miikka 02:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: So what about Category:Human-based computation? Should we delete it too, along with all its belonged articles?  A  W  04:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep A fairly good article, with sourcing. It';s a major topic, as demonstrated by the abundant references. DGG 04:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Abundand refernces are for making synthesis, which is original research. The cited references do not introduce the term `'Miikka 17:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The term (also known as "human computation") is established in academic circles. Von Ahn won a MacArthur Fellowship for work on it. So, notable and referenced. It should use inline citations to cut down on the OR, though. &mdash;  brighterorange  (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * "Human computation" yes there is such term. But it has nothing about the current article. "Human computation" discusses why in certain tasks humans are better than computers. The current article is kinda Matrix (film) topic. `'Miikka 17:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You're wrong about this. Just check out Von Ahn's papers. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 04:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep well-referenced. I just read an article about this the other day in a (physical) newspaper. JJL 17:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The "original research" label doesn't apply to this article. Mandsford 00:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Brighterorange is correct, it's a well established concept. And it's nothing like Matrix, it's just computers distributing and collecting tasks done by humans. See the examples in the category, e.g. Amazon Mechanical Turk, Stardust@home. Rl 19:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
