Not a notable neologism. The references don't support any of the content in the article; I find [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wheel_calculator&oldid=399006199] this version from 2010 useful to understand the history of the article. Power~enwiki (π, ν) 08:44, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete -- A wheel calculator is nothing but a circular slide rule. This article happens to focus on ovulation, but it is only one of a thousand uses devised before electronic calculators became cheap and ubiquitous. They are used in flight planning (E6-B), dive tables, and artillery. I will add ovulation to the circular slide rule article. Then we can dispense with the article. Change it to a redirect if you want. Rhadow (talk)

- Delete and put it out of its misery, especially per the above merge of information into Circular slide rules. A redirect to that section would probably be fine too. (Also note the linked online calculator is defunct). --Deacon Vorbis (talk) 15:38, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
