Copyvio problems: the Jean Morlet article should be relisted. Charles Matthews 11:58, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Minimax theorem has been redirected; but perhaps not very appropriately. Charles Matthews 16:58, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
Regarding the requested article "lp sequence space": there is a section on them in Lp space. So I wanted to make lp sequence space a redirect to Lp space. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have a title start with a lower-case letter. Now I don't know what to do; any suggestions? -- Jitse Niesen 13:41, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
For a redirect, Little-lp space would be OK. On a page, it might look a bit silly, but one can hide it in a piped link! Charles Matthews 14:18, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
As I understand it, the purpose of redirects is that if a user types "xyz" in the go-to box (in the upper right corner), and xyz is actually defined in the page abc, then the redirect xyz -> abc brings the user automatically to the page abc. However, it's rather unlikely that somebody looking for information on \ell^p spaces types "Little-lp space", so it seems rather useless to create the redirect "Little-lp space" -> "Lp space". Note that I only want to be able to delete "lp sequence space" from the list of requested articles. It might be argued that one can already perform this deletion now, as there is an article on the \ell^p spaces, albeit hard to find; what do you think? -- Jitse Niesen 17:09, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
Actually, one can see redirects in backlinks, which can sometimes be helpful. Also, the policy is to create ample redirects, since they are rather cheap in resource terms, may cut down the increasing amount of duplication. But I don't mind, really. We have already used many more bytes discussing this!
Charles Matthews 17:57, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
You're right. I created the redirect. -- Jitse Niesen 20:38, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
space subset was linked only from Leopold Vietoris. I think it refers to spaces of subsets (see Vietoris topology on topological space). The relevant passage was added by someone interested in supercentenarians, so may well have been incorrectly copied. Can the link on this page simply be deleted? Rvollmert 16:50, 2004 Jul 26 (UTC)
I have (a) replaced super-almost-huge cardinal since the page was deleted, and (b) put back jet bundle, which was a frivolous (IMHO) redirect. Charles Matthews 09:21, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Is there REALLY a theorem in the study of Probabilities called "Wiener measure"? I literally laughed myself to tears when I saw this. Better now than in class, I guess (halfway through a university semester of Intro to Probabilities).
Why is QM listed under Mathematics and not physics? Even the most abstract mathematical physics should be listed under physics because real mathematicians can see there is still a lot of hand-waving going on. -- ub3rm4th 21:05, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Regarding the request
added by an anonymous editor: Does anybody know what the question is? My guess is that Lagrange error bound refers to the Lagrange form of the remainder term in Taylor's series (see Taylor's theorem). -- Jitse Niesen 11:20, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
----Lagrange Error Bound is used to determine the accuracy of an approximation by a Taylor Polynomial. I wouldn't know how to explain via Wiki, however.
The Lagrage Error Bound is the error between the Taylor series approximation and the actual function value. The Lagrange Error Bound is also called the remainder for a Taylor series. The official definition is the difference between the actual value of the function and the nth partial sum that approximates the function. You can find the term by using this:
Rn(x) = (fn+1(c) * (x-a)n+1) / (n+1)! Where c is an unknown value on the interval [x, a].
This is part of the AP BC Test and should be included.
I've taken these off the page: they were anyway in the wrong place.
Boundary logic axiomatisations - J. Spencer-Brown axiomatisation - W. Bricken axiomatisation - L. H. Kauffman axiomatisation -
These relate to the laws of form, so-called; which is at best marginal mathematics; and articles on different ways to present the system seem to me over the top. Charles Matthews 16:25, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
What's standard with non-capitalized parts of surnames -- de Bruijn, von Neumann, etc? My understanding was that de Bruijn goes under "B", von Neumann under "N". I guess the Category tag would have to be a rather unnatural-looking [[Category:Mathematicians|Neumann, John von]], but that's OK. -- Trovatore 16:00, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
Is there any reason why the category Discrete mathematics is missing? The closest existing category I could find was Set theory, which is not quite the same. Normally, I would just be bold and add it in, but this is a special project page. Vonkje 11:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Would it make sense to take the index of MathWorld and add all non-existant entries to this list of requested articles? — BenFrantzDale 20:07, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm positive that I've already seen this list somewhere on wikipedia. A long list of red links that have extant mathworld articles. As I recall, capitalization made a lot of false positives. I don't remember where I saw the list though, someone's user page. Maybe Charles Matthew's? I'll see if I can find it. - Lethe | Talk 03:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Did no one read my comment? This list falls squarely under Jimbo's don't steal lists of articles from our competitors prohibition, which is why the seperate lists of articles in Encarta, EB, and other encyclopedias were deleted. As in that case, it is generally believed that we are reasonably protected as long as missing article lists are not single source, hence the Encyclopedia lists were recreated as a merged topic list. You can ask that to happen here as well, but simply republishing Mathworld's index is a copyvio of their index (and yes the index by itself is subject to copyright protection).

It would be a nightmare to maintain, and I think there is a policy about not having multiple articles on the same topic. The current consensus is to start articles simple, and have them become more complicated as one reads along. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 03:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I am surprised that 10-polytope does not exist because Simplex, Hypercube, Cross-polytope, 10-simplex, 10-cube and Category:10-polytopes links to it.

Hello, all. I was doing a search for the "Teens" because I wanted to know why their naming convention differed from other higher order numbers (ie, thirteen instead of ten-three, compared to forty-three) but I was unable to find any articles on the numbers 13 through 19 inclusive.
I cannot imagine that nobody has ever created such an article. Before I try to create a stub for it, is there a way to find out if such an article was deleted?
Additionally, what would be the category to request an article on a specific number (or numbers)? -- Bertrc ( talk) 19:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I would like to request a new article introducing the concept of complex numbers. The current article does not introduce them in a way that's accessible to someone who does not already have a great deal of mathematical knowledge. After looking up educational resources elsewhere on the web I found the concept fairly straightforward and logical but I'm not qualified to write it myself.
Just the introduction to ' Complex number' contains 27 links to other articles, of which at least half are similarly dense and inscrutable. As it stands there's no way for someone to develop an understanding of these concepts from reading the wikipedia because there's no starting point, you just wind up clicking between articles full of thick and unelaborated jargon.
FTA: Complex numbers form a closed field somehow with real numbers. OK, so what's a closed field? Don't know, go to the article. OK, it's some type of field, what's a field? Go to the article, and before I've left the introduction I'm wondering what 'quintic relations' are or an 'integral domain' and if I'd only read the wiki I still wouldn't know what a complex number is or what it has to do with anything. Now I'm not averse to learning all this, I'd love to understand it, but clicking from article to article isn't helping. It's frustrating in a way that other areas of the wikipedia aren't, I don't experience this in the physics or computer science sections for example, if understanding one area depends on understanding another one can usually just click through and read the prerequisite article without falling down the rabbit hole. 196.209.232.87 ( talk) 15:18, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

There was a request for a page of this name, based on its use in this JEPT article. I looked at the article in question, and in my opinion this is not a statistical term that needs a separate article. As the author and others in pharmacology have used it, it is merely the geometric mean of a set of observed ratios. Nothing special or noteworthy. If anyone disagrees, then please write a stub, or reinstate the request for an article. — Aetheling ( talk) 18:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

The request for mutation algebra needs to be unpacked. There are three distinct concepts of mutation algebra — one due to Santilli [1], an algebra derived from an associative algebra by defining a twisted multiplication ; a baric algebra with endomorphism, which is indeed a train algebra [2]; and a homotope of a Jordan algebra. Deltahedron ( talk) 19:39, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
There seems no special reason to add this number rather than any other, so I'm removing the suggestion pending some pointers that would establish a reason to have an article on it.

I reverted this edit which changed the redlink Non-commutative plane to a piped link to Quantum_spacetime#Heisenberg_model_spacetimes. That did not seem to fit with the purpose of this page, which is to list articles that don't exist. If that's a suitable target for a redirect, then in general either say so on the same line, or create a redirect in article space from Non-commutative plane. But don't do the latter here, as it doesn't seem to be a particularly good target, since the proposed target paragraph does not mention non-commutative planes at all.

Hello fellow Wikipedians. I am in the process of creating an article about the 4D shape, the “cubinder”.

If I remember correctly the talks from Khovanskii, I think the name for the article requested should be better either Fewnomial theory, or Theory of fewnomials. I might be wrong, but I think there is not a concept/object called a 'fewnomial'. Instead 'fewnomial theory' is that body of results that bound the number of solutions of polynomial equations by a function depending on the number of monomials appearing in the polynomial, and their many applications. The 'few' referring to the philosophy that when there are few monomials, then the geometry of the solutions is simpler.
I could attempt starting the article, but wanted first a feedback about the name. Cactus0192837465 ( talk) 01:44, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Requested entries Leopoldt's Spiegelungssatz and Leopoldt reflection theorem already existed at Reflection theorem#Leopoldt's Spiegelungssatz: I have created the redirects. Deltahedron ( talk) 20:22, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
There was a request for a page of this name, based on its use in this JEPT article. I looked at the article in question, and in my opinion this is not a statistical term that needs a separate article. As the author and others in pharmacology have used it, it is merely the geometric mean of a set of observed ratios. Nothing special or noteworthy. If anyone disagrees, then please write a stub, or reinstate the request for an article. — Aetheling ( talk) 18:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
For the requested article of Coleman's principle there are different Coleman's with different principles. If a first name was given that would be greatly appreciated. Littlelago123 ( talk) 01:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
This has been in the uncategorized section since this edit four years ago. Looking at the draft article here, and noting the word has no hits on ZMATH and none relevant on Google Books, I am inclined to say Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.

I can find no evidence for the existence of this, added in 2007. Can anyone verify it? Spectral sequence ( talk) 18:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
I would like to propose new sections on Field Theory, taking in Galois Theory as a subsection, and Rings, Modules and Algebras. The current Abstract Algebra section is getting rather long. Spectral sequence ( talk) 08:45, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
The request for Brand quotient has been here since 2008 [1] under Coding Theory. I can find nothing to suggest that there is such a concept outside marketing: there seems to be nothing in GBooks or ZMATH. Can anyone provide a reference to show that this concept exists?

I have reverted this imposition of new "requirements" on requested articles pending a consensus on their provenance and applicability. Spectral sequence ( talk) 19:28, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
The request for mutation algebra needs to be unpacked. There are three distinct concepts of mutation algebra — one due to Santilli [1], an algebra derived from an associative algebra by defining a twisted multiplication ; a baric algebra with endomorphism, which is indeed a train algebra [2]; and a homotope of a Jordan algebra.

There seems no special reason to add this number rather than any other, so I'm removing the suggestion pending some pointers that would establish a reason to have an article on it. By the way, it would seem to be a good practice to adhere to in general, to accompany a suggestion with some further information of the kind. Deltahedron ( talk) 21:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
I removed Abstract comunitronics, added 2006-09-27T19:10:40Z, as I see no reason to believe it exists: no relevant hits on Google Books or ZMATH. Deltahedron ( talk) 20:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
I thought that a section on organisations was appropriate, given that there's one on mathematicians. Deltahedron ( talk) 20:08, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
I boldly split out a separate section on this topic as it seems to me that the section of Abstract Algebra is getting overgrown, and that this is an identifiable subtopic. This has been reverted with the comment don't fine-tune the list. Very well then, why not, and what if anything should we do about sections that are getting overlong?

I reverted this edit which changed the redlink Non-commutative plane to a piped link to Quantum_spacetime#Heisenberg_model_spacetimes. That did not seem to fit with the purpose of this page, which is to list articles that don't exist. If that's a suitable target for a redirect, then in general either say so on the same line, or create a redirect in article space from Non-commutative plane. But don't do the latter here, as it doesn't seem to be a particularly good target, since the proposed target paragraph does not mention non-commutative planes at all.

The Helmut Hofer cited in the IAS announcement is the same who has already an article, co-founder of symplectic topology.-- Claude J ( talk) 09:07, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
I believe this theorem is stated, under the name Bruhat-Tits fixed point theorem, on the page CAT(0) inequality. If nobody objects I will make a redirect for this. jraimbau ( talk) 11:18, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians. I am in the process of creating an article about the 4D shape, the “cubinder”. It was previously red linked on other articles, and I was surprised to see it was not already an item listed for creation by Wiki Projects Mathematics, as the duocylinder and spheriender are already articles. I require help to improve the draft, as I require more formulae, sources, and additional information to create this article. You can access this page at User:Darnburn98/Cubinder, please come on over and help improve this article to get into the main space! Darnburn98 ( talk) 22:33, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Do I delete the article from the listing in this Wiki page? Chaos1618 ( talk) 20:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
If I remember correctly the talks from Khovanskii, I think the name for the article requested should be better either Fewnomial theory, or Theory of fewnomials. I might be wrong, but I think there is not a concept/object called a 'fewnomial'. Instead 'fewnomial theory' is that body of results that bound the number of solutions of polynomial equations by a function depending on the number of monomials appearing in the polynomial, and their many applications. The 'few' referring to the philosophy that when there are few monomials, then the geometry of the solutions is simpler.
I could attempt starting the article, but wanted first a feedback about the name. Cactus0192837465 ( talk) 01:44, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
