User:Robinh pointed this one out to me. Although its an interesting read, I believe it is original research. The first version of the article suggests this. I found no confirming google hits. This is especially bad, since most game theory publications are widely distributed over the internet prior to publication. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 03:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as unverifiable. No Google hits, no Google book hits and 4 Google Scholar results all referring to Varma Divisions of Hospitals and Institutes [1] rather than Game Theory. [2] Capitalistroadster 04:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Some Googling suggests that the name may refer to Gopal Das Varma at Duke University, who has certainly published articles on similar topics. Nonetheless, while the subject is interesting, I'd have to vote delete unless sources can be provided. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 05:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- delete OR/unverifyable, willing to change vote if some references appear. Pete.Hurd 06:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- In case of deletion, remove referring sentence from fair division also. Pete.Hurd 14:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- delete. Absolutely zilch on four search engines: Engineering Village, Science Citation Index, Google, Google Scholar. Must be OR. Robinh 08:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- possible redirect to split the difference or fair division procedures(?). The article does feel OR - especially in the intro/conclusion, which refer to the article as a paper, etc, as if it is in a journal. OTOH this article discusses an example of a fair-division procedure, ideas which are developing quickly in the context of experimental economics. The article needs to be encyclopedia-fyed, but the information can be presented in a WP appropriate way, and under a different title (for now). Some articles in that literature discuss things like this, but I havn't found a good reference, yet. Smmurphy(Talk) 04:04, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, very interesting and very good, but unreferenced and unverifiable. Stifle 23:08, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
