Editing Talk:Grandi's series (section)

== Proposed merge of [[Summation of Grandi's series]] into [[Grandi's series]] ==

The article "Summation ..." is an unmaintained [[WP:REDUNDANTFORK]]; to the extent the content is encyclopedic and supported by reliable sources, it should just be included in the main article [[Grandi's series]]. --[[User:JayBeeEll|JBL]] ([[User_talk:JayBeeEll|talk]]) 21:04, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

:'''Support''' merger, this doesn't serve any separate purpose. It might also be worth looking at [[History of Grandi's series]] and [[Occurrences of Grandi's series]], although these might have slightly stronger justifications of being standalone articles.

::Yikes.  I would support also merging [[Occurrences of Grandi's series]], which does not seem to have a clear case for a standalone article.  [[History of Grandi's series]] seems like a more complicated case; for one thing, it seems to have more content and more sources than this article ([[Grandi's series]]). --[[User:JayBeeEll|JBL]] ([[User_talk:JayBeeEll|talk]]) 19:42, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
:'''Support''' merge of [[Summation of Grandi's series]] and [[Occurrences of Grandi's series]] into [[Grandi's series]]. I'm currently undecided about [[History of Grandi's series|the "History" sub-article]]. It's longer, but parts may be redundant, and some of it reads like [[WP:NOR|OR]]: {{tq|Presumably he arrived at this series by repeated substitution}}, etc. Cleanup would be easier if we consolidate the other sub-articles first.

:'''Ambivalent''' For what it's worth, I originally created the sub-articles, but a lot of their mental context has left me. Also, I haven't been maintaining them closely, so if some OR has seeped in, I wouldn't necessarily know about it. My intuition is that the sub-articles already have enough sources that they ''could'' be written in such a way to justify being left as standalone. But in practice, it's arguable that Summation and Occurrences don't live up to that. It's also worth noting that the main article doesn't have a fleshed-out summary of either of those articles, so it's not as if a merge would necessarily sacrifice any existing prose.
