*I don't think the deletion rationales so far really add up. This article is simply the expanded version (per [[WP:Summary style]]) of [[Vector space#Examples]]. The content in the separate article is just as encyclopedically relevant as the content in that section. There's nothing there there that's didactic, so I can't see how it could be a case of [[WP:NOTTEXTBOOK]]; if it were, then that consideration would equally well apply to the section in the main article. Is there anything I'm missing? – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 21:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' The concept of a vector space is obviously notable, and so a list of examples is, in principle, proper encyclopedia material. [[WP:NOTTEXTBOOK]] is a somewhat squishy rule in practice, as it can be hard to say if a given piece of technical content is too textbook-y. I think that for any reasonable drawing of that line, though, this falls on the good side. It's written much more like a reference to look up things within than a narrative to lead a student into a subject. An expansion of a section in another article is not redundant with that article.

*Might be worth '''renaming''' [[List of vector spaces]]. "Examples" stinks of unnotability. [[User:Clarityfiend|Clarityfiend]] ([[User talk:Clarityfiend|talk]]) 07:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
