::I don't entirely agree that the lack of a formal proof is problematic. Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTTEXTBOOK|not a textbook]] and is aimed at a more general audience. That's not to say that a formal proof would not be beneficial, but I can't see any GA criterion that is being run afoul of here.

:::It does give the proof. The problem is it's so buried in text that it's hard to follow. Reducing it to just the formal mathematical proof, which is in there, would be much clearer. The attribution 'Cantor' is clear from elsewhere, while discussion should also be separate, or at least clearly distinguished. I don't disagree with [[WP:NOTTEXTBOOK]] but where a proof is short and relevant it's often given. Here the proof is the topic of the article and as such is central, while other sections such as on whether it's constructive depend on knowing how the proof works.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 16:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
::::To all involved, with no progress being made since December 20, I will be closing the review in 48 hours if no progress is made.--[[User:Dom497|<span style="color:#1F75FE">'''Dom497'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Dom497|<span style="color:#00308F">'''talk'''</span>]]) 03:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

:::::I already made the position clear to you on your talk page, a discussion that you chose to delete with the edit summary "you're about to piss me off" rather than actually bottom out the issue with discussion. So let me be quite explicit about this: every time there is a threat to, or an actual attempt to, close this review out of process (read [[WP:GAN/I if you don't know what the process is) I will extend the review by at least a week just in case an editor who could address the issues was discouraged from doing so by the imminent closure.
