Contested PROD

This article was proposed for deletion with rationale This article presents original research, which is not permitted by our policies. Unless you can add reliable and independent sources, which attest to the subject's notability, your article will be deleted. Thank you for your understanding. This seems wrong and I have contested the PROD since the article does indeed cite reliable sources, namely a peer-reviewed academic journal, and our policy on original research is a prohibition on editors directly publishing their own unsupported work in an article -- it does not mean that we cannot report research published in independent reliable sources, which this appears to do.

totally anti-symmetric

What does "totally anti-symmetric" mean in the context of this article? What other wikipedia article talks about the kind of "anti-symmetric" and "totally anti-symmetric" alluded to here?

At first I thought maybe that phrase should link to antisymmetric matrix, but the table given in this article doesn't seem to meet the definition given in that article. --DavidCary (talk) 17:29, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The references define this. Example:

A quasigroup

(Q,*)

is called totally anti-symmetric if

(c * x)* y =(c * y)* x \Rightarrow x = y

and

x * y = y * x \Rightarrow x = y

.

Good catch, though, this article should define this. —Quondum 20:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
