Ringfield (Mathematics)[edit]

There is only source given and a bit of digging shows that the creator of this theory has a similar name to the username of the article's author (Simon Jackson and Jacko561 respectively). This indicates that it's nothing but original research. I'd prod it, but typing ringfield mathematics into Google gives so many hits for rings and fields that I can't be certain this new concept hasn't been mentioned anywhere else.

Delete - unless it can be shown that this was the subject of a peer reviewed article or some such. Otherwise it could be WP:OR and WP:COI. LonelyBeacon (talk) 02:49, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - violates WP:OR and has no references to verify the content.--S_RX 03:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Single reference is a self published source WP:SPS. Looks to be original research. AlbinoFerret (talk) 04:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In June this year, a user named "Jacko" posted what looks like an early draft of this article to the usenet group sci.math. There was no reply. Also to be clear, the topic is non-notable. To get better search results, put ringfield in quotes. One can also use commercial databases such as MathSciNet, where there are no hits. JackSchmidt (talk) 14:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If the article is kept, the "m" needs to be made lower-case. Capital clearly violates WP:MOS. Michael Hardy (talk) 15:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unable to find reliable scholarly sources on google scholar [1]. There appears to be one passing mention of this in the computer science literature, but that is all I could find. Clearly not notable. siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 18:35, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
