Pi to One Million Digits
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
 * Delete. Gazpacho 17:56, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anyone object to a speedy? I know we've had VfDs on this sort of thing before (though I don't know if we have for pi to a milion digits). -R. fiend 18:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Personally I think it is quite useful, however the comments above/below the digits need to be cleaned in my view. However I *have* managed to find a use for this before. Although, my view probably dosen't represent the community. Ian 13 18:15, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Like the nom said, Wikipedia isn't just a pile of every bit of verifiable information out there. I see no use for this article. --W.marsh 18:29, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This isn't really encyclopedic. Anyone with a computer can find out pi to one million digits, so we really don't need to be a repository for that. Mo0 [ talk ] 18:39, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: This list only contains 155209 digits. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 19:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I suggest the author to take a look at http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Mathematics, where they may be interested into this list (not 100% sure), once completed. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 19:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * In addition to the delete above: No redirect. I oppose to redirect, for the reason below that one looking for Pi to one million digits will end up to Pi, where these million digits will not be found. I also propose to delete Pi to 10,000 places. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 12:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to pi. Pi to 10,000 places has been a redirect for months. This is therefore fifteen times more needful of becoming a redirect. -- RHaworth 22:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to pi, and I believe there is some discussion at Wikibooks about whether to accept such articles there. Author may care to look into that more deeply. --Kgf0 00:02, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I really don't see the point of a redirect, unless you're arguing a merge as well (which I assume you're not). The article (thankfully) doesn't give pi to a million digits, so anyone doing a "pi to a million digits search" will not get what they are looking for. Might as well delete it. -R. fiend 00:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * But if we redirect to Pi they will find links to what they are looking for. -- RHaworth 06:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * According to WP:R redirects to section tags don't work. --Kgf0 08:46, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look like Wikibooks material to me, and I'd be surprised if they were even considering it. An argument could be made about it belonging on Wikisource, but they don't want it either. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 01:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete needless information, anyone interested will check out pi. See also Daniel Tammet --Carlos Prats 11:08, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to pi. See RHaworth above. Walter Siegmund (talk) 11:14, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Move to wikisource. And do not redirect, since no one would ask a so exotic page. José San Martin 01:34, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
