Cantor's diagonal argument

Cantor's diagonal argument (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request

Some Gadget Geek has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: This article cannot stand as it is now. We need to explain how exactly the proof works and that will be very difficult without using technical jargon beyond what is generally appropriate enough for the simplewiki. << S O M E G A D G E T G E E K >> (talk) 19:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

Keep: Cantor's diagonal argument, while complex, can be explained using simple language, if the editors aren't too lazy! It just needs to be explained in the right way! Give it time! 24.15.68.186 (talk) 19:51, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If someone is actively working on it, that would be fine. If not, and if the article is insufficient as it is, then there's a limit to how long we would keep it. That limit is the length of time that this RfD runs. If does get deleted, it can always be recreated when someone can make it a better article. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject is encyclopedic but the article, as written, is nothing more than a bare mention, with no real explanation of the topic, nor even a source. If the creator or other interested parties are able to create a simplified version of the EnWiki version, then I would support keeping it. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 03:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
