LempelZiv Schumacher

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This appears to be original research that has not been published in any reliable source per my searches on Google web, Google books and Google scholar. This thus fails two of Wikipedia's core content policies, i.e. no original research and verifiability. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or fix the name of this algorithm with an extra space and rd to LZ77 and LZ78. The Lempel-Ziv algorithm is important but this page is a mess. JJL (talk) 00:40, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect. Looks like original research. Interesting concept, but until it's been published elsewhere it's not appropriate as a topic. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 05:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clear case of OR; doesn't even seem to exist in written form outside of Wikipedia and its mirrors. Hqb (talk) 17:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete OR. This is not the Lempel-Ziv algorithm, but a non-notable unpublished variant of it. Precisely 3 ghits, 2 of which are the author's blog, one of which is the article. Redirect would be inappropriate as the title (even with punctuation/spacing fixed) is an unlikely search term. JulesH (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect. As the comments above state already, this appears to be original research not represented in the scientific literature. There is such a thing as Schumacher compression (10.1103/PhysRevA.51.2738) but it appears to be unrelated to the Lempel-Ziv compression methods discussed in this article, and by a different person (B. Schumacher rather than James Schumacher). —David Eppstein (talk) 22:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
