Notability could not be inherited from parent, in this case Stack Exchange. Lacks sourcing from WP:RS and failure to meet WP:NWEB. Alexa rank: 28,801 Or, redirect to parent article. Störm (talk) 16:37, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the article has 10 different references, none of which are just about the parent. In particular the atlantic article[1] is a detail and extensive look at the MathOverflow site. The Mercuary News article also looks like quite a substantial reference[2].--Salix alba (talk): 20:23, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The nomination statement seems to imply that a subject cannot be notable if it is related to something else notable, untrue and a completely bogus application of WP:NOTINHERITED. And Alexa Rank is almost completely irrelevant for Wikipedia notability. The article as nominated already contained multiple in-depth sources in published reliable sources (the Atlantic and Mercury News sources) as well as multiple additional sources that are self-published but still reliable by virtue of the "recognized expert" clause of WP:SPS (blog posts from famous mathematicians). I just added two more peer-reviewed academic papers that are about the subject (they both have it in their titles). Clear pass of WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:25, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
