This article was nominated for deletion on 7th November 2006. The result of the discussion was keep. |
The content of the website from which I took the material is also authored by me. I took it as it is there because it is very suggestive and rellevant for the title of the deleted article.
[edit] Replacing article
After the afd was prematurely closed, I replaced the original research with the temp article that was waiting. 2005 09:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
The current replacement is too poor on the subject that was designated for. It talks more about the probability concept rather than its philosophy. The redirection link to philosophy of mathematics is proving this. Half of it talks about how probability theory was inspired by games of chance. Nothing about philosophy, nor interpretations. Unlike other mathematical concepts, probability is predisposed to various types of philosophies. The article states that all problems of philosophy of probability stand in the correspondence between the mathematical concept of probability and the common language on this subject. No definition of the specific term the aticle introduces(philosophy of probability), no structural approach. The only reason to edit this article was just to replace the old one. The deleted article was far superior on all counts. infarom
- Your comment may be true, in a sense; that the page is here at all is the result of the edits/efforts that culminated in the current page which was acceptable sufficient to overcome a 'delete' motion and which was never seen as complete. So, how do we change the page to both improve it and, at the same time, keep it within the scope/limits of the wiki? jmswtlk 15:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Agree with you. In fact, what I contest is the deletion (replacement) and not the current page, which can be improved by any edit. In my opinion, the old article was within the scope/limits of the wiki. Good luck with your edits!infarom
- I will make this page into a redirect to Probability interpretations a week from now if no one strongly objects. Wikipedia should only have one article covering this topic. I will rescue the references here not found in the other article before I do the redirect. iNic 20:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
