Partial construction

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

Unverifiable OR. The WP editor that created the page is the author of the cited article. The article has not yet been published (cites vol 3 issue 1 whereas lists the current issue as vol 2 issue 4. Author claims it is in a forthcoming issue. Topic is already a section in Self-replicating_machine of which it is a subtopic - would propose merge if it wasn't all already there.

 * Author also claim that the paper is cited in already published media, and that the conclusions given in text deleted by user Ripe is consistent with this already published media. Hence, author claims a clear act of vandalism on the part of user Ripe.  William R. Buckley (talk) 18:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There has been a single paper published in conference proceedings on the topic. The concept is not sufficiently notable to warrant its own article when he had already made it a subsection of Self-replicating_machine. Many minor academic theories, including many better supported in the academic record, are not sufficiently notable for separate article topics in Wikipedia. Regarding the comment above, removing unverifiable information is not vandalism. The above author has a potential COI problem if he can't maturely handle good faith edits from other authors. Contrary to WRB's assertion, according to Amazon search inside, Automata 2008 proceedings have no mention of zygotes, which was the sole topic of my deletion on Self-replicating_machine article that he's referring to above (my edit here). Though that's a different issue than if the article should be deleted. Ripe (talk) 19:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I never mentioned that the word *zygote* is contained within the proceedings of Automata 2008. Ripe's contrary assertion, that I have so claimed use of a word in the proceedings to Automata 2008, is therefore a patent lie.  Ripe needs to read what is written, and to understand the meaning thereof, in order to see the clear, unmistakable, and obvious relationship between the process of partial construction, and the nature of the zygote.

The placement of the concept may not be appropriate as a separate article. On this, I agree. Indeed, such is mentioned in the comments associated with enlistment within Self-replicating machines.

As to notability, we will leave time to demonstrate such. William R. Buckley (talk) 19:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Redirect to Self-replicating_machine. Wait until the section on partial construction becomes large enough to warrant its own article, then make this article.  J kasd  18:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
