Would it not be more sensible if the person who made this nomination explained why s/he wished to have the article deleted? That question asked, having just looked at the article myself, I can understand why it (i.e. the nomination) is being made. All the article says is that "Combined mathematics is a combination of pure and applied mathematics in Sri Lanka". Firstly, I cannot believe the term is constrained to Sri Lanka - but then again, I am not a mathematician. I would have thought that this was a topic which could merit some attention, but would need a much more informed and informative article to make the article worth keeping.

Speedy close— nominator has failed to advance an argument for deletion. Till 10:11, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We can save ourselves the trouble of taking this around for another pass, because if this is speedily closed I'm just going to put it up again. Anyone can look at the article and see that it lacks any citations or even enough context to really quite figure out what it is about. As best I can determine, it might be saying that in Sri Lanka the two courses are taught as a single, combined unit. This does not strike me as a notable assertion, and I'm not clear that this is what it intends anyway. Mangoe (talk) 12:47, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm unable to find any real sources that talk about the term "combined mathematics" in the context that it is being used in this article. The only reference I can find to anything involving the term in Sri Lanka is a very brief mention that seems to indicate that it is, like Mangoe suggested, merely a math course that teaches two different subjects, and is hardly notable.
