Contested prod. This is about a cipher that is web-published, not published in any reliable source, not peer-reviewed. It was part of a walled garden with [[Imran Shaik]] and [[Definite Avalanche]], both of which were deleted through PROD. The article was created by {{user:Iashaik}}; the algorithm inventor is Imran Shaik.

*'''Delete'''. If this were a cipher taken seriously by the crypto community, I'd expect to see some hits for it in Google scholar, but I couldn't find any. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] 17:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

**That's because the sources are all encrypted, so the joke's on you! Actually, the sources are an apparently pending M.Sc. thesis, and a website that doesn't contain (or at least cannot find, see first sentence) any reference to the article subject. '''Delete''' unless independent verification of notability can be established.

*'''Delete'''. Nothing in EBSCO computer-science index. [[User:DMacks|DMacks]] 18:53, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

*'''delete'' per David Eppstein & DMacks. [[User:Pete.Hurd|Pete.Hurd]] 05:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' due to lack of [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] confirming notability. --[[User:Nehwyn|Nehwyn]] 17:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
