I do not understand what the article is about. If it is about some particular software, than it is not notable. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:13, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Looks like an idea for studying statistical theory while looking at the source code of open-source programs, to see how programs do it. In any case it's WP:OR. No references, no assertion of notability. – Margin1522 (talk) 18:01, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:OR. Things like this exist, see R (programming language), but this article is WP:OR. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:48, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy This is a stub created on Dec. 30 by a new editor. Rather than delete it, and since we don't know where the editor was going with this, it makes sense to me to turn it back to the editor, with some encouragement to read WP:RS, and WP:NOTABILITY (and more) before continuing. I usually like to advise new editors that starting with a new article is the hardest route, and that making edits to current articles is a better way to gain experience. Also note that, depending where this editor lives, this is a holiday time, so editor may not be watching WP at the moment. LaMona (talk) 19:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
