Apparent vanity. Uncle G 06:28, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)

• "Article" is nothing more than a link to a memorial page for an Ohio State math prof who died in 1991. Delete unless some indication of notability shows up. Edeans 19:17, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Zassenhaus is somewhat notable (the Zassenhaus lemma, as mentioned below). What's there is pretty worthless so not much would be lost if it was deleted, but he arguably deserves a page. -- Walt Pohl 01:39, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: "Vanity"? The guy has been dead for 13 years... And he actually seems to have been quite a notable mathematician (he is linked to from the article Zassenhaus lemma). The problem is that there is no article at the moment, just a link. / up+land 20:54, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • As no article seems to be appearing, it is an obvious delete at this point. It is easy for somebody mathematically inclined to write an article at some later time. The current "article" is a hit-and-run posting from IP 128.8.19.26, which has contributed nothing else. The person probably doesn't read this. / up+land 08:16, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep now. / up+land 10:57, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, it's just a link, this is no way to start an article. Wyss 01:06, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Agreed that the subject may be notable, but I'd rather see a stub than a link.
• Write an article and we won't delete it, but wikipedia is not a link repository. Delete unless an actual article is written. Pedant
• Keep now (was a speedy, shouldn't have been here); Z is certainly notable and I have made this into a basic stub. Charles Matthews 10:31, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems to be notable, and this page is a valid stub. Martg76 22:55, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep in its current stub form. Stombs 01:27, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
