The result of the debate was '''no consensus'''. (5m, 6d) - [[User:Mailer diablo|Mailer Diablo]] 14:03, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

===[[Differentiating Functions]]===

I'm fairly positive this article is identical in material to the article [[Calculus with polynomials]], so I move that it be deleted. If I'm missing something important, don't hesitate to let me know. In the discussion, put '''Delete''' if you agree and '''Keep''' if you don't. Comments are also welcome. - [[User:ElAmericano|ElAmericano]] 00:17, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Line 4 ⟶ 10:

:The thing is, the article is just a proof that the polynomial power rule works. It doesn't explain anything about calculus. I'm ''fairly'' new to Wikipedia (I was around, but not very active, before I registered), so I'm not sure, but is it Wikipedia habit to put mathematical proof for laymen in articles? If so, I will agree with you. - [[User:ElAmericano|ElAmericano]] 01:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

*This afd nomination was [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion|orphaned]]. Listing now. No opinion. &mdash;[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] [[User talk:Cryptic|(talk)]] 05:15, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

:**Sorry, I hadn't done an afd/vfd before and thought you just put <nowiki>{{VfD}}</nowiki> at the top of the page and followed the link here. Should I go ahead and fix it, or would that mess things up? - [[User:ElAmericano|ElAmericano]] 15:58, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

***It's already fixed. &mdash;[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] [[User talk:Cryptic|(talk)]] 00:39, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

*'''delete''' unless someone's willing to do some serious cleanup. It has essentially no formatting right now; in my book that's grounds for deletion in itself, in an article that long. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] 05:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

*'''delete''' inappropriate redunancy. we're not a textbook. the important facts about differentiation can already be found elsewhere. -[[User:Lethe|Lethe]] | [[User talk:Lethe|Talk]] 06:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Line 15 ⟶ 22:

*'''merge''' somewhere. Possibly [[Calculus with polynomials]]. I find it hard to beleive that we don't have this proof already somewhere. --[[User:MarSch|MarSch]] 12:32, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. I am usually fond of chatty proofs, but this one is too chatty. [[User:Rick Norwood|Rick Norwood]] 14:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' and '''redirect''' somewhere, if this topic doesn't qualify for it'sits own article. This is useful information, and explained in a way I could understand. --[[User:Horsten|TH]] 15:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

*'''Merge and redirect''' any useful information to [[calculus with polynomials]]. [[User:Jacqui M Schedler|<span style="color:#663366;">Jacqui</span>]] [[User_talk:Jacqui M Schedler|^★]] 05:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
