- Delete. I think that the applications of cellular automata in image processing could be an encyclopedia-worthy topic (see e.g. the results of this search) but not under this name, and the current article is worthless as a starting point. I agree with the nominator that this is more about promoting Yang than about serving any encyclopedic purpose. Better to delete it and start fresh. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:05, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. (Marginal call). The design of machines for processing cellular automata is a valid topic for an article, although the current page is in need of an almost total rewrite. Although the article on cellular automata is comprehensive, there is a distinction to be made between the theory of cellular automata and the design of machines for processing them, which has a long history (e.g. work of Duff, Fountain et al. on the CLIP machines at UCL in the 1970s/80s). 86.7.23.104 (talk) 15:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
