Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Mathematics

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Mathematics. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Mathematics|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Mathematics. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

List of convex regular-faced polyhedra

List of convex regular-faced polyhedra (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The list may seem to be redundant, consisted of convex polyhedron's classes in the following: we have five Platonic solids list, we have Archimedean solid and Catalan solid's list, and we have Johnson solids list. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 00:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Mathematician who self-publishes by the looks of it. Fails WP:SIGCOV. UPE. Fails WP:BIO. Its likely him. scope_creep^Talk 14:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Authors, Bands and musicians, Mathematics, and England. Skynxnex (talk) 14:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

• Comment Wow, that's a lot of Lulu.com books. It's conceivable in principle that a self-published book could be article-worthy in its own right or contribute to the article-worthiness of the author if it were well-reviewed, but so far I haven't found any indications of that happening here. XOR'easter (talk) 23:41, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to Harvey and the Wallbangers, the band he belonged to, which might be notable. I can find no notability for his mathematics teaching or publications (such as reviews of his self-published books). —David Eppstein (talk) 05:59, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to Harvey and the Wallbangers, as suggested by David Eppstein. His books are all self-published (which can become notable but is rare). Bearian (talk) 01:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Subject fails WP:NACADEMIC and references could not prove WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. Just as Ldm1954 stated on the talk page, this is indeed WP:TOOSOON. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Mathematics, and United States of America. Shellwood (talk) 09:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Washington. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:47, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• Delete: Utterly unremarkable minor academic, fails NPROF and the GNG going away. Ravenswing 06:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete. Citation record not strong enough to carry the article in the absence of anything else that contributes to notability. I didn't find any reviews of his one book, and even if I did one book isn't generally enough for WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:16, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. His citation record is not as yet strong enough to qualify. He is doing some interesting things with opinion pieces etc, and these are beyond routine. However, I don't see enough as yet for notability. I think it is too soon, but he is on an interesting path and may well qualify in 2-3 years. Ldm1954 (talk) 11:38, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete Gumshoe2 (talk) 02:57, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete. He fails all the parts of the PROF test, and writing opinion pieces is ordinary. Bearian (talk) 02:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
• Weak delete. One highly cited publication does not make WP:NPROF C1. The efforts at being a public intellectual might eventually lead to a pass of WP:NPROF C7, but I am as yet unconvinced. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:03, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
