: Concerning "infinitude of transcendentals" in Lead. In [[WP:Lead]], it states: "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." The most important content is that Cantor devised a new method of proving the existence of transcendentals. Their infinitude follows easily from their existence in many different ways—one simple way is by adding rationals to a transcendental, which has nothing to do with Cantor's work. The fact that Cantor's method can also generate infinitely many transcendentals is just one of many ways to prove their infinitude and is a detail that I feel is best left to the later discussion of his method. —[[User:RJGray|RJGray]] ([[User talk:RJGray|talk]]) 21:02, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
