- Diamond theory - Content not sufficiently encyclopedic, a personal theory. -- Charles Matthews 17:23, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Looks rather bogus. Andre Engels 17:51, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Seems to be a theory from the book titled "The Non-Euclidean Revolution (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0817633111/104-7817139-7227101?v=glance)". I'd say keep for now. Anthony DiPierro 20:30, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- My doubts aren't about it's being real mathematics, nor about connections to interesting areas - I just suspect it of being 'minor' research, of which there are 1000s of papers put out annually. No connection with NEG Charles Matthews 21:01, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure myself even if it's real mathematics. But 5 days doesn't seem long enough to research this. Anthony DiPierro 21:17, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. It appears to be a possibly interesting elaboration of symmetries in two-dimensional patterns (which perhaps is not even new), created by a non-mathematician in a personal web site and in a self-published book. There actually could be some valid group theory in there (It's not written up as a standard mathematical treatise and I'm not patient enough to dig it out), but the author has, alas, asserted that it yields something revolutionary in a way that
borders on is crankery. Specifically he subtly conflates the group theory analysis with something called the "Diamond theory of truth" from a book about the philosophy of science and asserts his particular mathematical analysis restores a lost way of doing mathematics. *sigh*. As it written now, it is masquerading as accepted mathematics, which it is not. -- Decumanus 16:30, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. The author of this "theory" has created lots of stuff on the web to support his views, see [1] (http://m759.freeservers.com/), [2] (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/listmania/list-browse/-/1YNQIXSSYP2ZK/102-0483095-9608118), [3] (http://math16.com/), [4] (http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/DiamondTheory.html), but no evidence that he's attracted a significant following despite this.

- Delete. Someone's pet idea, not encyclopedic. --Zundark 11:11, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
