[edit] Square root of pi

Not enough here for a separate article. All of this can be included in a short section of the main Π article. Firebug 01:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Pi, agreed. --Aleron235 01:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge is someone can find something worth merging... not much there. rodii 01:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Others are right, nothing worth merging, and that 1000 digit number is annoying. rodii 04:39, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Pi, added mergeto tag as well. xaosflux ^T/_C 02:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as possible hoax and if the math is indeed correct, well merge to Pi.
• Delete. There is nothing to merge. The square root of pi is not a relevant number, and one instance in math can never be used to prove a general statement as claimed in the article. ESkog | ^Talk 04:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Last statement is pure nonsense, so article is nothing but a number.TheRingess 05:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• I'd say merge if there was anything there worth merging. There's not, so delete. Reyk 06:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Pound with asteroids --YixilTesiphon ^{Say hello} Consider my Wikiproject idea 06:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - pointless trivia. Not worth merging into π as opportunities of using the square root of π are about as common as using the square of the number. The last sentence is nonsense mathematically, for one example does not constitute a proof. B.Wind 07:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, don't merge. gren グレン 07:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless 2+2 will get its own article also. Mo0[talk] 08:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

This made me laugh. rodii

• Merge to Squaring the circle, maybe, but I don't feel that strong on it.--T. Anthony 08:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per B.Wind abakharev 11:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge but only use the first say twenty digits or so. No need to have a thousand! Astrokey44 11:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Almost completely useless. The square root of pi is not significant separately from pi itself, unlike say, square root of 2. And PLEASE, whatever content may be or may not be merged into Pi, don't even consider a redirect. NO-ONE will ever seach for this string. Zunaid 13:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no useful information here. Seems like personal research to me. Aucaman 15:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unencylopediac information. BTW, what is this Sourcing section supposed to be about. --- Charles Stewart 18:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

The links I got that mentioned it. Although what if any relationship it has to squaring the circle is already on the article about that topic.--T. Anthony 05:06, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per ESKog. Blackcap (talk) 19:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no merge. Everything useful here is already in Squaring the circle. Herostratus 04:17, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep square root of pi is quite notable. Unfortunately the article does not list it's unique properties (like being involved in Fourier transform).  Grue  15:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
