Talk:Glove problem

thread_title: Commment

message: This article has been nominated for deletion in the past with a vote passing to keep it.  This was years ago.  Still there are no citations, the article is incoherent and hardly usable, and has little to do with either math or safe sex.    66.224.232.34 (talk) 17:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Delete this Article

message: This article went through a delete discussion. The debate seems fairly even and it was kept with the idea that it was to be rewritten as the glove problem. 
Reading the comments my impression is that it would have been deleted except that for that rewrite possibility. 
That was February 2006. Three years on and no Glove problem and remarkably not even a single word added to the article that there might be the glove problem (of which this article is a rather particular and peculiar example). That suggests a need for another deletion discussion: if it was worth keeping because it might be turned into the glove problem surely someone would have feel bothered another to just add a few words in it that it was a form of the glove problem. 
But no one seemed to feel that the existence of this article mattered even that much--surely that is evidence that it lacks sufficient notably to be kept--otherwise someone would have made the effort--a line of words hardly takes any effort.--LittleHow (talk) 13:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Three years on and time for another delete discussion 

message: No modification to the article have been made. Google scholar does not return any result for "safe sex makespan". One may grant that the problem is a legit OR problem, but if it has not a single hit on google scholar, possibly does not belong here. Though a simple google search of 'makespan' brings one here. The concept of 'makespan' is better explained in Job Shop Scheduling. 
I have nominated the article for deletion again.

thread_title: Three more years

message: After 16 years, this article is still bad. It's had a cleanup tag for 4 years and no substantive edits for going on a decade. Clearly nobody cares enough to write it (least of all me!). How could it possibly be notable enough to keep at this point? 99.174.253.233 (talk) 00:02, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable...? 

message: Well, I'm a brand new Wikipedia editor and I just came across this page looking for solutions to a related problem.  It turns out that the solutions to that problem don't seem to be posted anywhere convenient on the Web, so I'm writing them up myself so that they are out there.  Then I plan to come and fix this page (not only have the edits needed not been made in umpteen years, but the info on the page itself is just plain wrong!) when I have something to link to.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boneheadmef (talk • contribs) 18:20, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
