Also nominating: Topic outline of arithmetic, Topic outline of calculus, Topic outline of geometry, Topic outline of mathematics for same reasons.

These articles contain little information, and what information is there is mostly already either in the main articles algebra, arithmetic, calculus, geometry, mathematics or the portals portal:algebra, portal:geometry and portal:mathematics. Charvest (talk) 22:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep all. They're not really articles; they're navigational pages. As such they serve a useful role. Just because larger Wikipedia hasn't gotten around to creating a uniform standard for this sort of page is not a reason to delete it. --Trovatore (talk) 22:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Appropriate navigational pages. Pages similar to these get nominated from time to time, but t such pages are appropriate in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias have indexes.DGG (talk) 00:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep all — they're all navigational lists of topics. Remember that mathematics is very, very broad and goes waaaaaay beyond simple aspects that I assume we all know and take for granted. MuZemike 01:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - useful lists. Definitely encyclopedic. Matt (Talk) 03:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
