Why Isn't There a Nobel Prize in Mathematics

Badly-named OR. DS 05:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Nobel Prize as trivia? >: Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 06:39, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Personal essay, original research. [ +t, +c, +m ] 07:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• CommentThis is not original research; the original post provided a good bit of (copyright-violating) source material, and it has been suggested the whole thing was lifted from the sci.math FAQ. While I can see the temptation to delete it, I think it can be turned into a worthwhile, if quirky, article. No vote from me yet. The Land 09:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge: I am inclined to agree with User:RobyWayne. In case, the consensus is for this, than the contents may be suitably condensed. --Bhadani 09:20, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Dekete there isn't one in biology either, so what? Dunc|☺ 13:29, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Anything as long as it is not delete. Tintin 15:36, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

On second thoughts, I go for a merge. Who is going to type the whole thing in the encyclopaedia anyway ? Tintin 01:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If there's any substance to this, it will eventually find its way into the larger discussion at Nobel Prize. Dottore So 16:02, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Nobel Prize, though it needs some cleanup. Jonathunder 16:51, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup and then merge, as suggested by Jonathunder. Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 21:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as original research/personal essay. --Carnildo 23:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Hardly an original research. Google comes up with a lot of links starting with this Tintin 23:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep assuming it is true. But move to get rid of the caps from "isn't there". -- RHaworth 02:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete hoary old urban legend [1]. -- Grev -- Talk 03:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge a mention of the urban legend into the Nobel Prize article. But please move this to a more reasonable name before merging and redirecting (as GFDL requires) so we're not stuck with a useless redirect. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Contains nothing factual. (preceding unsigned comment by )
