Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Election models

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Election models was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to delete.

An orphan deadend unwikified collection of data together with some sort of structure, provided by one or two anonymous users on November 8. It might be possible to construct a table from the data, but it gives no source, and no real explanation as to what the models are supposed to be. --Henrygb 18:02, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete unless someone can make some sense of it, it makes none to me. One of the contributors has no other contributions, the other has a few but I haven't checked how useful any of them are. Possible hoax? Andrewa 19:54, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete unless someone greatly improves. It looks to me like maybe an outline of a potential article, perhaps. Morris 21:43, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
  • Looks like original research to me - some form of attempt to estimate different election results under a different system. I doubt that anything really useful could be made of it and in any case the title is highly ambiguous. Delete. Dbiv 00:58, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This should not be deleted, it is the outline of a comprehensive working model to project election outcomes. The working model accurately predicted the Bush 51-48% elcetion result. It was posted to see in the collective wisdom of Wikipedia user would recognize the model and add qualatative input to the various segments of the model. Something very useful can be made out of the model by illustrating it with behaviors to better drive the underlying assumptions. Leave this work to the pros or shut up so as not to show your ignorance.
