*'''delete'''. The page [[Derivative (examples)]] shows differentiation from first principles already. It may be useful to move the proof there. The other page [[Calculus with polynomials]] is also a bit of a mess. The paragraph on 'Formal Diffentiation' seems out of place, and not at all well explained.[[User:Mattopia|Mattopia]] 06:41, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

:: I would disagree with moving the proof to [[derivative (examples)]]. That one is a sweet elementary article showing several very concrete examples, and does not need this proof which does not add much value in understanding the derivative for novices beyond what already is in [[derivative (examples)]]. I agree that the [[calculus with polynomials]] article is a mess, that might not hurt being turned into a redirect to [[derivative (examples)]] as well (without copying any of the info).

*'''Delete'''. This is text book material, not fit for an encyclopaedia (so transwiki to [[b:Real analysis/Differentiation]] or [[b:Calculus:Differentiation]] is an option). If there is no consensus for deleting the article, it is probably best to merge it with [[calculus with polynomials]]. -- [[User:Jitse Niesen|Jitse Niesen]] ([[User talk:Jitse Niesen|talk]]) 12:24, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
