Live Free or Die (cellular automaton)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod from February 22. Prod text was: Appears to be original research. Not listed among the named rules in Life-like cellular automaton nor among the list of rules at fano.ics.uci.edu. No non-trivial hits on Google. To avoid deletion, reliable independent sources for verifiability and notability must be cited. Ginkgo100 removed the prod without explanation and without providing any additional sourcing per request of Lordmetroid. —David Eppstein 14:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC) David Eppstein 14:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge to Conway's Game of Life. It seems to be the same principle but I'm not sure if all the rules are the same. It needs the attention of a specialist. -Sucrine ( &gt;&lt;&gt; talk) 15:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't feel that this is the correct merge location, if any merge is to take place. Rules similar to Conway's Life have been split off from that article to Life-like cellular automaton. But that article only lists rules that have been documented elsewhere. There are 218 possible rules of this type, so it is not reasonable to list them all; there has to be a reason for listing one. —David Eppstein 15:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
