[edit] Perfect square factor

This article contains (almost) no information. It says that a perfect square factor is a factor that is a perfect square and it gives one example. It has no ingoing links from the main namespace and it was created on 26 September by an anonymous editor, so I don't see any potential for expansion. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 13:30, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - unnecessary article as both perfect square and divisor (factor) already have articles. The term "perfect square factor" comes up with regularity only when discussing simplifying square roots. B.Wind 04:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral - I've attempted to improve and wikify the article, but I don't feel strongly enough about its merit to vote keep. Gandalf61 10:14, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. As mentioned there are articles on relevant concepts such as perfect square. We can take any similar concept and make it a factor, e.g. triangular factor, pentagonal factor, etc., but they don't deserve their own pages. The term perfect square factor is not of enough importance on its own merits. --C S (Talk) 03:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect only because redirects are cheap. would say Delete otherwise novacatz 02:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- no significant infoirmational value.(Sorry to the author) --Simon Cursitor 08:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - are we going to have entries/redirects for even factor? odd factor? single-digit factor? Theres an infinite number of properties a factor could satisfy, and I don't see why any of them deserve an article or a redirect. --Pierremenard
• Redirect per above. This term is regularly used, so it is reasonable to assume people typing this expect to be redirect. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:34, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
