[edit] Guido Grandi

This appears to be patent nonsense, however a google search does find a professor Guido Grandi returning approximately 150 matches. [1] Is this figure actually notable and worthy of inclusion? GRider\^talk 22:17, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 00:22, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep notable in history of mathematics http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Grandi.html
  • Please sign your votes, User:Wolfman. Andrewa 10:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Listed in any comprehensive history of mathematics, many contributions. The mind boggles. Yes, his proof that 1=0 is not accepted today, but it was one of the keys to putting the concept of convergence onto a sound basis. To report it as his work is not nonsense.

• Keep. Finished work on resistance of solids started by Vincenzo Viviani in addition to other work noted above. Capitalistroadster 11:13, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Pjacobi 00:56, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)
