Template:Linear algebra

Very nice template, created at the beginning of 2004. However, since May 2004 we have the categories system which takes care of grouping related items; in particular, we have Category:Linear algebra which contains all the articles listed in this template. As such, this template is obsolete, and is just a link farm. I suggest it be deleted. Oleg Alexandrov 18:36, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• Note: instructions above (should not be removed from pages prior to listing) were not followed. The template can be viewed within any of the articles it references via the article history. -- Rick Block 03:32, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Right. I removed the template from all articles before I put it here for deletion. I was not awre of the requirement. Sorry. I also hope that my arguments for removing the template are still valid. Oleg Alexandrov 05:49, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, navigational infobox. People from Wikiproject Maths won't be very happy to see this disappear... Alphax ^τεχ 10:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

I would not be so sure. See discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Template:Calculus -- is that needed? about a related template. Oleg Alexandrov 19:44, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, offers no meaningful distinction from a category. Radiant_* 11:10, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. It does add meaningful distinction from a catagory. It's a very organized See also section for the LinAlg pages. I've found this useful in the past while simple browsing so I recommend it be kept. -SocratesJedi | Talk 14:34, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
