What is a number system
Delete essay. --Trovatore 06:16, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Also copyright violation. http://www.hal-pc.org/~clyndes/computer-arithmetic/computers.html.  Speedy delete.  (And a tag has been added for that.)  --Nlu 06:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I took off the speedy tag based on my understanding of the criteria, because it doesn't look to me like hal-pc.org is set up to make money off the content being duplicated. Of course if I'm wrong, go ahead and speedy it. --Trovatore 06:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * hal-pc.org appears to be a profit-seeking venture (ISP), so I'm going to add the speedy back on; any additional reason why it shouldn't be back on? --Nlu 06:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, part of the A8 criterion is "Material is unquestionably copied from the website of a commercial content provider (e.g. encyclopedia, news service)". An ISP is commercial, but not necessarily an commercial content provider. If all it sells is bandwidth, then I don't think it qualifies. --Trovatore 06:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's also from a personal site hosted on hal-pc.org, not by the isp itself. See clyndes' main page.  Regardless, delete this even if the author grants permission; this wouldn't even make a useful redirect. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 16:52, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Whether it's a copyvio or not is a moot point. Number systems are already covered elsewhere, so we don't need this essay. - Mgm|(talk) 13:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
