 * Delete All the same attendant problems as before.  scope_creep Talk  11:27, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly speedily if it's just a recreation of the page that went before (can somebody check?). This is one of those cases where the title sounds like it's referring to something much more general than what the article is actually talking about, so the article is essentially squatting on a title.

 * The draft created in December 2017 is essentially the same as the version that was deleted from the AfD in August 2016. You can see the changes since then, but they appear more or less cosmetic (cleaning up badly worded text without adding actual new content) to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:07, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, possible G4 speedy (see above). I don't see any reason to change the decision from the first AfD. None of this content would be useful for a proper article on state transition algorithms. And although the original work on which this is based has a moderately high number of citations (70 on Google scholar) many of them are self-citations and I strongly suspect many of the others are low-quality cites based on the title rather than the content of the cited paper. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:10, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
