It has been deleted many times. There are plenty of references including the one to the Dr. Dobb's article, which is what comes up at the top of a Google search.

The fact that you looked into this and your actions (none) are siding with the other Wikipedia editors proves my point. You personally would have tagged it "needs third-party references"? Put your money where your mouth is, undelete it, and add that tag. Or prove my point. You actually do nothing, which is the same as standing behind the other Wikipedia editors. Like a little small-dick Mafia.

I have nothing but despise for Wikipedia editors.
