Honestly, I'm astonished this wasn't nominated for deletion before. Basically, a textbook case of WP:NOTTEXTBOOK.

What's next, examples of polynomial equations? Examples of circles? Examples of sine waves? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:13, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Differential Equations#Examples The material reads like a how-to guide, and all its encyclopedic content is duplicated by the articles we have on the individual types of differential equation and the methods for solving them. I do think that the title would make a decent, straightforward redirect to an existing section of the main article on differential equations.

As a side-note, the page was "moved" here from the subpage Differential equations/Examples on 7 September 2002 (!), even though it doesn't show up in the move logs.

Comment. I have no clear idea ot what to do with this article. As it is, it is certainly not encyclopedic. However, with little work, it could be a basis for an article called List of analytic methods for differential equations. This could be useful for users not interested in the theory, but who have equations to solve. So, I hesitate between the above suggested redirect and a move.

Redirect to Differential Equations#Examples per above. This topic is already covered in that section and doesn't warrant a stand alone article. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:43, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
