Standardized variable

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

Transwikied dictionary definition. TexasAndroid (talk) 14:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. CSD A5, any article that either consists only of a dictionary definition, has already been transwikied. Has been tagged. Speedy redirect. Author has requested time to expand the article, as per Moonriddengirl's comments, so it shouldn't be speedily deleted. Either way, the content is redundant with the article that Qwfp brought up, so it should warrant a speedy redirect instead.-- TBC !?!  14:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the article is expanded beyond dictionary definition by the closure of this AfD. Tree Biting Conspiracy (great name!) is quite right that it qualifies, but I have declined the speedy as a courtesy to the creator, who opined on March 4th that "Yes it needs expanding - but should not be deleted." This gives him or other editors an opportunity to expand it if they choose. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect per proposal by Qwfp and consent of the creator. No other substantial contributors to the article. Such a speedy redirect requires consent of TexasAndroid, of course, since the AfD was proposed in good faith. If TexasAndroid consents and no other arguments are advanced for deletion, closure of the AfD by Speedy keep and then redirection should be uncontroversial. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No objections. Good outcome. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy redirect to Standard score. This concept has several names, unfortunately, and standardized variable is another one that is used (never heard it called a "z-value" before but Z-score is already a redirect). Nothing worth merging yet so a clear-cut case for a redirect. Qwfp (talk) 16:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to Standard score (which I have amended slightly). I did not know this existed (having looked for it) when I wrote the original. Johnbibby (talk) (original creator) —Preceding comment was added at 17:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
