Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epsilon number


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Kusma is right that this is really a move discussion. I wanted to close it anyway per WP:NOTBURO but decided there really needs to be a move discussion here given the impact on Epsilon numbers (mathematics). Any move discussion held should give consideration to the participation of editors here when determining that consensus. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Epsilon number

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

From internet search, I'm not sure that Vacuum permittivity or Relative permittivity is called the "epsilon number"; almost all results are about Epsilon numbers (mathematics). However, Epsilon 0 would be a valid disambiguation page that would include only Vacuum permittivity and Epsilon numbers (mathematics). If deleted or moved, Epsilon numbers (mathematics) will be moved to the base title. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 03:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Rename disambig page to Epsilon 0 and Move Epsilon numbers (mathematics) to base title. 0x Deadbeef  (T C) 04:05, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Rename disambig page to Epsilon 0 per above reasonings. Chirota (talk) 06:23, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, useful disambiguation page. Suggest to withdraw this AfD and go to WP:RM to change the article titles. —Kusma (talk) 07:12, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Rename the dab to focus on the actually ambiguous "epsilon zero" and not on the unambiguous "epsilon number", and un-disambiguate Epsilon number (mathematics). This dab is a historical relic; it used to make sense as a dab before Articles for deletion/Musean hypernumber deleted the other mathematical meaning of "epsilon number" as non-notable fringe terminology for something described in more standard terminology at Hypercomplex number. (The fringe terminology isn't mentioned there, nor should it be, so it would fail WP:DABMENTION to add it back to the dab.) Even when that other article existed, the dab would have probably failed WP:2DABS. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
