Whilst I don't doubt that this topic exists, I do doubt its notability and whether this is overly focused on the experience at a single school. I don't think I've ever seen so many clean up tags on a single article before either. The-Pope (talk) 11:49, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As bad as it sounds, per nom. Pmlineditor ∞ 11:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Zero sources found. Google doesn't even understand "speed mathing", it asks if I meant to type "speed matching". SnottyWong talk 11:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Deserves every clean up tag it got. Concept invisible on web/news/scholar search. Favonian (talk) 12:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: I found zero sources for this. Speed math exists, but not this. Joe Chill (talk) 12:49, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, something this AfD has thrown up for me is that speed math should not be a redlink. It ought to be a redirect at the very least. Speed mathing strikes me as a plausible search term for someone looking for "speed math", so I think wherever speed math goes, speed mathing should also go. Hence redirect from me.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 13:29, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Please clarify... The last two editors mention Speed math... I can't find any link it it on wikipedia, so where should it be redirected to? Also, please note that in Australia, maths is used whenever math is used by Americans - just another difference in English styles - not sure about other countries. Mathing on the other hand...never heard of it! The-Pope (talk) 13:49, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's called "speed math" in American and "speed maths" in the other sixteen English-speaking countries. I can't see an obvious redirect target, and unless someone else finds one shortly, I'll write a stub called speed maths and redirect speed math and speed mathing to it. No doubt WikiProject Mathematics will be along to turn my stub into a proper article, or merge it to the correct place, in due course.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 13:58, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to mental calculation. Maybe a redirect should be put in for speed math and speed maths as well. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 18:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirected speed maths and speed math to that target, which was also Charles Matthews' suggestion.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 19:41, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The content is unencyclopedic and "mathing" sounds odd to me as a search keyword, thus I'm not enthusiastic about a redirect. Materialscientist (talk) 01:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - unreferenced self-promotion New seeker (talk) 10:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see that. It would be self promotion if it noted that "TheWeakWilled's Math Tutoring Service" is a great way to improve your speed mathing, and can get you higher scores. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 01:40, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
