Unsourced article which makes heavy weather of a result which is basically a one line application of Pythagoras. Also we tend not to have articles which are proof. Salix (talk): 08:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It's a sort of trivial mathematical consequence. The article does not claim why this relationship is notable. WP:MILL... We could have thousands of articles with trivial mathematical consequences such as this one. Gigs (talk) 09:41, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete How hard would it be to do a quick merge-and-redir? It could easily be covered in some other, more general Pythagoras article (whatever that may be). flaminglawyer 16:47, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point it could redirect to Cube#Formulae. --Salix (talk): 17:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete As Salix says, formula for radius of circumscribed sphere is already given in cube article. Derivation is not sufficiently notable to merit its own article. Gandalf61 (talk) 09:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
