The result of the debate was REDIRECT to computer-aided design. Nothing was merged; feel free to peruse the edit histories for something of worth if that's your fancy. Postdlf 05:38, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Paper-to-CAD conversion and Paper-to-CAD Conversion[edit]

Advert. Sqpds 00:13, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I took out the references to a particular company. Kappa 01:00, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fair enough it might be worth an article. Sqpds 01:04, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sustaining this nomination, and I've added the second article under a variant title. Though it's not an advert, I don't think it's going to be more than a dicdef. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 01:52, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete both of them, non-necessary dicdefs. I think this can be adequately covered in the main CAD article. --Idont Havaname 03:44, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Redirect Computer-aided design. The issue already covered in nearly the same words in Computer-aided design article by the same anon contributor. Mikkalai 05:27, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep one of these (I'd go for the one with the lower-case conversion) and redirect. Potential for expansion here. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:45, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is but one of applications of image analysis & pattern recognition in CAD. It is a usual practice in wikipedia to cover smaller subtopics within larger articles. If the topic grows, it can be easily expanded into a separate article. Right now it is nothing but a duplication of a small paragraph in Computer-aided design article. It may as well be a redirect there. Mikkalai 17:45, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • So how about merge and redirect to pattern recognition? Or to CAD? RickK 20:50, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
        • There is nothing to merge into CAD: everything is already there. Pattern recognition is only initial part of the job. It still requires a significant manual post-processing. Mikkalai 21:20, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • The problem with the term is that the overwhelming majority of its usage is the name of a particular software service. I can find no academic disuccion of the notion. But probably you are right. Changing the vote. Mikkalai
  • Merge, though if Mikkalai is correct, then redirect alone should be sufficient. --MikeJ9919 04:13, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
