Psychology of math

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects.Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect'stalk page or in adeletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion wasDelete, without prejudice to the creation of an article. Participants were about evenly split between deletion and creating a disambiguation page, but those favouring deletion were sceptical about whether a disambiguation page was viable and in the absence of a draft to asses I find those arguments to be the stronger.Thryduulf (talk)18:04, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Psychology of math →Mathematical psychology (talk ·links ·history ·stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Mathematical psychology is the use of mathematical modelling in psychological research; the psychology of mathematics is not really, as far as I can tell, an existing field of study, but one would assume it would entail the use of psychological methods to understand how humans understand mathematical concepts and the like. (There does, however, seem to be a lot of research on the psychology of mathematicseducation.) The two terms are distinct enough that this redirect is more likely to cause confusion than to guide the reader to anything they're looking for. – Arms & Hearts (talk)19:53, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• DAB in concurrence with SMcCandlish, although the page should be moved to "Psychology of mathematics" with the current title as a redirect to it.BlackholeWA (talk)10:38, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete to encourage article creation. Unless my non-expert hunches are wrong, this topic should encompass both the small field of research on how mathematicians come up with mathematical concepts, and the much larger one on how these concepts are best taught to students. The nearest thing we had was the article formerly existing atCognitive science of mathematics, but that has long been gone. I don't see any relevant targets –Numerical cognition is at best a subtopic (number is only one of many mathematical concepts), and disambiguation is not applicable – the term is not ambiguous and dab pages shouldn't be created just as repositories of links. –Uanfala (talk)13:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a redirect from the name ofa Czech journalist, the current editor-in-chief of the magazineRespekt to the article about the magazine. I don’t think such a redirect is useful/proper, so it should be deleted (and potentially replaced by an article about the journalist).Mormegil (talk)13:02, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have to agree that this redirect makes little sense since there are now lists of pansexual, non-binary, and asexual characters which I created a while back. The OP is right to nominate this for deletion. I also think that the pageList of asexual, non-binary, and pansexual characters in television and radio should be deleted as well.Historyday01 (talk)18:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget toList of LGBT characters in television and radio, a broader topic that links to all three more specific lists, and I'd expect some overlap between them (a non-binary person can be asexual or pansexual, for example). Since this is a former title, that's another reason not to delete, and XY isn't a problem when there's a logical place where all the topics are covered. --BDD (talk)18:28, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem, BDD, I have with your argument is that pansexual, non-binary, and asexual characters are not on that page. I know because the main editor on that page wanted it to only be focused on lesbian, bisexual, gay, and trans characters, but no one else, and I agreed to move them to their appropriate pages for the time being. That's the main reason I supported a delete in this case, as I'm afraid that the main title could cause too much confusion if someone is looking for it.Historyday01 (talk)04:01, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair, though the hatnote means we still provide readers access. However, "LGBT" is often shorthand for "LGBT+", which could include all three of these groups (and IMO it's a huge stretch to argue that LGBT excludes pansexuality by default). There are a couple of non-binary characters mentioned on this page anyway, and explictly a section on asexuality. --BDD (talk)14:43, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• (edit conflict)Note I've added an alternatively (and better) capitalised version, but it is important to note that these are redirects from page moves, the target is the result of a single article being split, they are probably required for attribution.Thryduulf (talk)18:30, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget per BDD.Thryduulf (talk)18:31, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget per BDD. I was going to go with delete, because these three categorizations are not the same thing and the mashing of them together is arbitrary and basically a form of OR. But LGBT[+], while even more generalizing, is a real-world and overwhelmingly common umbrella category (generally taken to encompass all these subcategories), so is permissible. (By way of analogy, "Native Americans and First Nations" is a real and very broad categorization, but writing an article like "Foo among Apache, Navajo, and Inuit peoples" [only] would be a bogus, novel sub-categorization.) — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 05:28, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• • @Naddruf: there is no reason why anybodyneeds to search for any term at all, which is why that's not a relevant argument. These are former page titles which makes the plausible search terms, they are required for attribution and we have an unambiguous target that covers all aspects of the title.
