Smallest number paradox

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

(1) Original research, by the original page author's own statement, and by a lack any of google hits at all. (2) This really fails to identify any genuine paradox; the reasoning is not cogent. Michael Hardy 21:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Zeno's paradoxes, which put it more clearly and accurately 4000 years previously. (The "smallest integer" is either 1 or 0 depending on your point of view, anyway.) But keep as a redirect as I could imagine someone searching on this term. -  Irides centi   (talk to me!)  22:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Neither 0 nor 1 is the smallest integer, but 1 is the smallest positive integer (unless you define positive so as to include 0). Michael Hardy 00:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is no more than a restatement of Zeno's paradox, only less cogently. Nothing new here. Lose it, please.--Anthony.bradbury 23:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Please allow me to fix this, just have to reword some stuff and it makes sense again. Eminence Grise 18:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Eminence Grise
 * After you do that, there's still another problem. You yourself seem to have said this is original research.  Are you unaware that original research is forbidden on Wikipedia, so that in itself is considered grounds for deletion? Michael Hardy 01:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete OR restatement of Zeno's paradox. It isn't really fixable per Michael Hardy. Smmurphy(Talk) 05:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, clear case of OR. --Pjacobi 09:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
