This is not a thing. It claims to be about "classical mathematics", in distinction to constructivist approaches, but this distinction is actually entirely about classical logic, a topic for which we already have an article and do not need a second one. My WP:BLAR (a redirect to classical logic) was reverted by an anonymous user, un-reverted by CFA, reverted again by the anon, and supported by Викидим, so rather than continuing to edit-war over the redirect we should discuss it. Here is the discussion. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Classical logic: as a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. An article already exists on classical logic. C F A 💬 22:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. As I have requested, please give me a day. The topic seems to be wider than constructivist / nonconstructivist disagreements over logic foundations. That said, I did not support the anon, and explicitly commented that "I am not sure this topic deserves an article, but I will try". --Викидим (talk) 22:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.⟨ Now that I did some reading (and a little bit of writing), here are the arguments:

The term is much broader than just foundations of mathematics
There are plenty of sources discussing the classical mathematics
It has little to do with the Classical logic

A merge into the Foundations of mathematics can be considered. --Викидим (talk) 03:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
