It has been merged with quadratic equation
This was brought here by User:Goldencako at 03:00 June 2, 2006 (UTC). --Bduke 04:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC) I have now added it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2006 June 2 and added a header, as it appears the nominator did not not do that. --Bduke 04:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The merge was done without consultation, but since the merge tags were added, there really has not been any discussion on it. There was some debate when the derivation was removed. However, deletion is not appropriate. If the merge is to stay, this page should be a redirect to Quadratic equation. I support the merge, while feeling that User:Goldencako should have supported the merge on the talk page. --Bduke 04:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Quadratic equation per above --Richard 17:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect. I commend the bold merger. -- GWO
- Redirect until consensus is reached on Talk:Quadratic_equation. Personally I don't mind them being merged, but the merge was under discussion there and User:Goldencako should have joined the discussion instead of taking unilateral action. -- Avenue 12:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect per nom. Xyrael T 19:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- No delete, no rd - there was no discussion by the merger, although there was a section discussing it. I've reverted that merger, cause I don't think its proper. Fresheneesz 22:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- merge, although since the merger is already done, shouldn't this be at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion? -lethe talk + 22:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Please stop the edit war on Quadratic equation. lethe is surely correct that the derivation should be back in the article while this debate is going on. Otherwise the material may be lost completely. For now the derivation material should be in both places. Let's wait until an admin closes this debate. --Bduke 23:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to quadratic equation. I see no good reason why this derivation should not be part of that article. Paul August ☎ 23:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
