T-table

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

Contested prod - This table is redundant - it is also here: Student's t-distribution, with better context and description &mdash; G716  &lt;T·C&gt; 05:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * delete per nom - what's more to say. Hmm, there is the prod contest. But that doesn't justify keeping the article, only merging it. Maybe coordinating with user:dmcg026 and then doing SPEEDY would be better than AfD. Potatoswatter (talk) 07:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Student's t-distribution - Atmoz (talk) 16:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Student's t-distribution. The two tables are different in that they deal with one-sided and two-sided distributions. However, both tables belong in the main article. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 21:02, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The tables are different. I don't see the merit in forcing a large table into the Student's t-distribution article, which would make it unreadable ...it is only useful to some who would need the main article. I would suggest moving the existing table out of Student's t-distribution and merging both versions of the table within T-table with a suitable explanation of difference between the two versions.

 * WP is not a repository for bare reference tables. If it's not generally relevant enough to belong in the article, it probably doesn't belong in WP. We do have periodic tables, tables of world records, etc, but those are linked to serve as indexes to articles. Why is a WP search for "T-table" better than a Google search (or any other search engine) which produces a variety of different tables of equal or higher quality.

 * Transwiki to wikibooks, which should have a section of miscellaneous mathematical tables. We are not an update of the CRC Handbook; they are. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,   Sandstein   20:59, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: In the above discussion just about every possible AfD outcome is recommended once. Most remarkable.  Sandstein   21:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * My position should not be misunderstood. I support deletion; I just think it should be transwikied first, unless they already have this table. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - a bare table is not an encyclopedia article -- Whpq (talk) 12:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:NOT. This does not look like an encyclopedia article. I'm not even sure that the related table in Student%27s t-distribution makes sense to have there. (It looks to be a waste of space in that article, breaking the train of thought). Maybe it would be OK to retain the latter table if the number of rows were cut down significantly.

 * Transwiki, then delete, per Septentrionalis. -- Avenue (talk) 06:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
