Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pi exact value

The result was   SPEEDY DELETE. This article adds no value whatsoever. I would call it "original research" but the research is hardly original - there must have been many people who have figured this out already. It isn't particularly difficult in coming up with the formula - it's actually calculating its numeric value that is. You can put "the power of 10 to 5 trillion" in the numerator using your average home computer, but it would take the IBM Roadrunner to actually calculate the formula's value. And, most importantly, calculating the exact value of pi is impossible. Sorry for the rant. Just deleting it as a test page, OK? J I P | Talk 18:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Pi exact value

An original method of correctly calculating pi to "zillions" of places. Yeah, okay. ➨ REDVERS in a car - no brakes? I don't mind 12:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MADEUP. -- JediLofty UserTalk 12:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete giving the user the benefit of the doubt and call it a test page. Otherwise, just plain delete as non-verifiable due to the lack of coverage by reliable 3rd party sources covering the subject in a non-trivial manner. Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete and redirect to Pi - this has all the looks of being a test page --T-rex 16:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Given the account has only made edits to that one "article", I am assuming good faith in that they unaware of how the encyclopedia works. None the less, it still doesn't warrant a unique article, or even a mention of any kind. Bungle (talk • contribs) 17:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It works, but it certainly isn't notable enough to merit it's own page. Paragon12321 (talk) 17:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above and WP:SNOW. Cliff smith  talk  17:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:OR and claims of ownership. Looks to be something madeup at and/or for school.  Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 17:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research and misleading title - a method of calculating pi to any number of decimals you want is not the same as calculating the entirety of pi, as any mathematician worth his/her salt will tell you. J I P  | Talk 18:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Why isn't this an A7? delete. Pretending to square the circle is less cool than squaring the circle. Protonk (talk) 18:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
