Could you please tell me why this page is nominated for deletion? Hm29168 (talk) 16:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

It seems it is not anymore. -C7 Speaking of which, why is there no section for Mathpathania? Lastly, is there an archive of the Deletion discussion anywhere? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.198.151.100 (talk) 23:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MathPath_(2nd_nomination) Found the link to the deletion article. Let's just keep it here for now. Hm29168 (talk) 13:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Should we perhaps add a mention of the popularity of For the Win games at MathPath to go along with the discussion of the various tournaments. It obviously wasn't popular until last year, but I don't think the pool tournament existed before last year either. Sardoodledom (talk) 14:42, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Should we replace the guest speakers with this years guest speakers? We could also delete all guest speakers except for those who return most years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sardoodledom (talk • contribs) 16:10, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Reraum (talk) 03:20, 20 June 2010 (UTC) The division of faculty on this page is not the way the camp leadership sees it. First, "recurring faculty" is not good English; "returning faculty" would be better. But this is still not the right distinction. The distinction is between regular faculty and visiting faculty. Regular faculty are those who come back on a regular basis - many times, even if only for one week each year. Visting faculty, or perhaps better called local faculty, are faculty who live in the area of the current summer's camp and are teaching on that basis.

With this distinction, Conway, Hartshorn and Su are regular faculty, not Part-time staff. Amelia Taylor started as visiting faculty, but she seems to be turning into regular faculty, as she is returning this year even though she is not local to Saint Paul.

On a different issue, yes, the visiting faculty should be updated once MathPath 2010 begins. Or maybe they just shouldn't be listed at all.

It would be neat if some writer could somehow capture the esprit de corps among the students at the camp, and indicate that they form a bond, as illustrated by the google groups and facebook groups and AoPS discussion groups that they form.
