Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Googolgon
A geometric object that is not and will never become notable. Articles like this are doomed to permanent stub status; this seems to be a case of people creating pages just because they can.
If you look at Talk:Googolgon, you'll see that I actually anticipated the creation of a similar Googolhedron article (!) If the community's consensus is to delete Googolgon, Googolhedron should also go. --Ardonik.talk() 18:37, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Can anyone explain why googolgon was put on Vfd?? 66.245.110.11 18:36, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. It seems even mathematicians have little to no use for googolgons and googolhedra. Google searches give results mostly to Wikipedia and its clones. They are theoretical shapes that will never exist due to physical limitations. If the article goes, the image should too. Even if the article stays, is it necessary to illustrate it? Isn't just saying it looks like a circle sufficient? Livajo 19:04, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Good stub. Possible neologism, some attribution would help here (and grow the article), but the Google test tells us nothing other than the topic is not yet well represented on the Web. Mathematicians have a great deal of use for theoretical shapes that will never exist due to physical limitations, see projective geometry for a start. Andrewa 20:24, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Merge with and redirect to googol? Dan MacQueen 20:56, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)
