List of things named after Richard Dedekind

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Many of the items in this list are linked from Richard Dedekind anyway. Seems like listcruft. Tckma (talk) 14:39, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep It's quite a long list and could be expanded with brief summaries of what each is, which would make it more useful for navigation. The topics appear notable and it seems to pass list policy; it's hardly WP:LISTCRUFT since it's a list of things closely associated with Dedekind that form a natural category; the only question is whether it would be better to merge to the main article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Colapeninsula.  If nothing else, the list functions as a sort of disambiguation or navigation aid.  As Colapeninsula says, this can be kept separately or merged into the bio article, but either way it's a legitimate list. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:55, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Putting common links in a common place makes for a useful list. Why delete it just because all its links occur elsewhere? Ozob (talk) 00:53, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The list is of notable things associated with Dedekind's name. These aren't trivialities. The links from the original article aren't quite as convenient for extracting the information. Churn and change (talk) 06:33, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even if these are all mentioned in one place or another in the article about Dedekind, it's sometimes useful to have them concentrated. Even if one section of the Dedekind article were devoted only to this, it's useful to have a centralized list like the one below, which appears in a prominent Wikipedia article.
