Division by infinity

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

In former discussions, it was pointed out that moving this article to the main space would require a reliable source, and that it would be difficult to find a reliable source. However, this article has been moved to the main space without any reliable source being added. So I thought about moving this article to draft space, but decided to nominate it for AfD because it has been in draft space for a long time. --SilverMatsu (talk) 06:34, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep The draft started as a student's class project; I happened across it and took a few stabs at making it into an article but never got quite far enough that I considered it mainspace-ready. I made another round of edits jut now and find it acceptable. It's not great, but good enough that I'm persuaded there's a topic here, and further improvement should happen in main space.

 * Keep I went back and added additional sources, cleaned up some of the wording, and linked to the calculus wikibook.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 22:01, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikibooks is not a reliable source, as it is user-generated content: like Wikipedia, basically anybody can add to it. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 22:11, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Newly added reliable sources satisfy requirements for significant coverage; there's enough to merit a standalone article. Complex / Rational  16:18, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * keep. A good enough start. - Nabla (talk) 01:11, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely not a research topic. But the notability in this case seems clear. Moving it back to the draftspace also seems problematic (as there is no guarantee it will be improved there). —- Taku (talk) 09:59, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. This concept appears marginally notable, but much of the scope of the page seems to duplicate that of Infinitesimal, which is deeply related to this concept. I'm not sure if it's better to merge the two pages (in line with WP:NOPAGE) or to keep them separately. But it's certainly not worthwhile to delete the page and all of its contents given that the subject passes the WP:GNG. —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 08:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * keep as I agree that this is a legitimate article with reliable sources. How useful it is will always be debatable. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
