It's possible that one could make a topic of "discrete frequency", such as what one gets from a Fourier seriers or a DFT, but the definitions and factoids in this article are just wrong, apparently just made up, and really about about discrete-time signals. I don't see any way to salvage any part of it. Dicklyon ( talk) 22:47, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
The AfD has closed without getting rid of this article and I'm not sure how to proceed. I can't believe that the closing admin has any understanding of signal processing, so is there some way to find an admin who understands the subject and get this rid of this? The alternative seems to be to blank everything in the article, because, although the word "discrete" occurs in "discrete fourier transform" and "discrete time" they have no connection with a "discrete frequency", which has just as much meaning in the realm of continuous time. "discrete spectrum" is a term with meaning, but that also has nothing to do with the article as written. If no-one has any better suggestions I'll probably end up blanking the article on the grounds that it is rubbish. Dingo1729 ( talk) 17:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
I reduced the article to the small amount of information which can be said about the subject. Dingo1729 ( talk) 19:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
[@Lambiam] Hi, I saw you changed my (almost content free) version of the article to a new title. I just wondered where you were planning on moving with this. Discrete frequency domain doesn't seem to have much worth talking about either, and this wouldn't really give much insight to someone looking it up. The only time I can think of when discrete frequency domains arise is for for a periodic signal (which redirects to periodic function). So I wondered whether a way forward would be to add a section about fourier analysis there and turn discrete frequency domain into a redirect to there. Regards, Dingo1729 ( talk) 21:28, 18 February 2011 (UTC) Incidentally, I'd probably dispute the statement that a discrete fourier transform goes from a discrete time domain to a continuous frequency domain. It goes from a discrete domain to a periodic domain. Which one we call time and which one we call frequency is just convention from engineers. But this is just quibbling. Regards again, Dingo1729 ( talk) 21:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
