Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Basic mathematics
I am nominating this article for deletion because it is just incorrect and probably does the reader more harm than good.., containing such assertions as: Mathematics is a process which involves a string of integers or Every application of mathematics relies on the four basic operators of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. Mathematics, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division have their own articles, anyways. --Mysidia (talk) 04:00, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

04:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC) - OK I started rewording it and cleaned up the definition but when I got to the sections I realized that they're already covered on their individual pages (and much better so) which was stated by the nominator. What's more is that it should really just redirect to Arithmetic or Elementary arithmetic, because that's the more correct name. I've edited it down to a (fairly) easy to read definition, but I don't really think that's even needed. Please check the history if you want to see the original. freshgavinΓΛĿЌ 05:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- The subject is clearly arithmetic. If "basic mathematics" is actualyl commonly used to refer to arithmetic, then redirect. Otherwise, delete. JPD (talk) 09:03, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
