Talk:Caterer on 44P7.2

Ought this to be moved to a gallery in the 44p7.2 page as many LCM with oscillators are, due to it containing little information of interest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DroneBetter (talk • contribs)

• One potentially interesting thing is that this oscillator has a known 131-glider synthesis. I think it may be possible to track down when that synthesis was found, possibly along with some earlier syntheses. I would find that historical information interesting. Moreover, the page says that it was the smallest known p21 oscillator at some point in the past, which also gives it some notability. So my vote is to keep the separate page.

The 44P7.2 was already synthesized in 2015, and the 9-glider caterer edge-shooter was found by yours truly in May 2021. See this post. GUYTU6J (talk) 09:25, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

LCMs are barely on the edge of notability, and this one has been superseded by a non-LCM (32P21). I wouldn't support keeping it. HotdogPi (talk) 13:31, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
