Lists of unsolved problems

Listcruft. There is no information here except links. Possibly a WP:CSD#A3 candidate (a rephrasing of the title). --Chris (talk) 06:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no - it's not a list at all. When I saw the link I was pretty much "wtf", because I hate listcruft with my dark bleeding heart. I clicked, and was quite surprised to see that it wasn't listcruft at all. Silly either way - we don't need this article, and we don't need the article suggested by the title. Hence, Delete. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nazgjunk (talk • contribs) 06:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. Can't figure out the purpose of this article. "A list of unsolved problems is a list that contains the unsolved problems of a specific area of interest" is quite self-evident. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; I don't see what the list could possibly provide more than the categories. Tizio 11:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is an indexing page. There are enough unsolved problems to warrant a breakdown by fields, and therefore enough to have a general directory of them. The fact that there is also a category is neither here nor there; a category is generated in software, a list is a catalogue raisonée that can include missing as well as existing entries. Category:Unsolved problems is in pretty sad shape, and does not contain even a tenth of the entries to which this list directs readers. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It would make more sense to properly categorize those articles then. --Chris (talk) 14:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Information is better served in the form of a category. Arkyan  ^(talk) 15:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This just duplicates what a category should do. However the Category:Lists_of_unsolved_problems needs to be populated with this information first. I do think that this only applies to this article; the individual "List of unsolved problems in xxxx" still should exist on their own merits. --Dmeranda 18:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This should be a category. Fishhead64 18:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
