Math symbol e (disambiguation)

I propose this article be deleted and redirected to E (disambiguation)#Mathematics and logic according to WP:CFORK. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:23, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to E (disambiguation). I don't see the value in having two disambiguation pages for e. (But don't redirect to the suggested section; this page has physics and engineering uses as well.) Actually, on second though, let's just delete this page. Nothing links to it and I don't really see what should. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment [1] seems relevent, lets hang on and see whats up. Martin451 23:06, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A clear case of incomplete disambiguation. (This is a disambiguation, not a set index article, because it's centered around unrelated topics with the same name rather than topics whose name similarities are a consequence of their relatedness.) If this had any chance of being used, a redirect would be appropriate, but who's going to link to this name? —David Eppstein (talk) 20:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as incomplete disambiguation and no need for redirect as an extremely unlikely search string. older ≠ wiser 00:41, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or move out of main namespace to e.g. Wikipedia for now until it is clear what is going to happen with this. See bugzilla:69424 for some background information. An interesting project, in my opinion, but it is seems premature to put these pages in article space while we do not yet know in what form this will be implemented, if at all. There are about ten similar articles, as listed on [2]. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 08:09, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If and when that bug is implemented this can be looked at; for now deletion makes sense. If links are added to Math ML symbols they'll initially be redlinks, probably in thousands of articles, which will surely be quickly fixed. But it's putting the cart before the horse to create these now, especially as I'm not convinced that feature will ever be added: even if technically possible automatically adding links in formulae throws up all sort of issues of overlinking, editorial control over links, non-obvious links and styling.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 08:20, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete; we have e (disambiguation) already for disambiguation, while its unlinked, not a likely search term, so unnecessary as a redirect.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 08:14, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
