Constrained optimization and Lagrange multipliers

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Moved to wikibooks

This article has just been transwikied to Calculus optimization methods – and in fact as the history shows, it was nominated to be moved to WB from the 2nd edit, as it is clearly textbook material (“How to do constrained optimization via Lagrange multipliers”), not encyclopedic.

The content has not been removed, and the WB page is listed at the encyclopedic entry, Lagrange multipliers, and all other links to the page are “List” or “Cleanup”, so I don’t think that there is any need for a soft redirect, and the page should simply be deleted.

Does this seem reasonable? (This is my first AfD – is this the right approach?)
