Session Identifier Security (Gardner Equation)

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

Article is about a computer science technique. Article seems to be created by the same guy who invented it. Apparent OR, non-notable. Rory096 01:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't know much about this model theory but I did a Google check here here and found only 31 references to Session Identifier Security. Many aren't linked to the Gardner topic, however. Article seems to be WP:OR since it is unreferenced; it may also have WP:N issues. Finally, this is the only article with the 'Category:Session Identifiers' tag. The fact that the Gardner Equation was created by an "amateur mathematician in the New York City area" strongly points to the WP:OR direction. Artene50 (talk) 08:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - appears to be a new name for a very old, basic concept out of Information entropy where it assumes the probability of each letter/symbol is equal. Also see Password strength  It appears to be unrelated to the existing "Gardner equation", related to Korteweg–de Vries equation.  If someone can come up with a reliable source showing this is really a new, unique idea, I'll change my mind.  Wrs1864 (talk) 03:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
