Portal:Equations

Automated pseudo-portal, which is simply a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the head article equations. Its "selected articles" list is drawn solely from the section Equation#Types of equations, by the code {{Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow | paragraphs=1-2 | files=1 | more= | Equation | Section1=Types of equations | }}.

The head article is a significantly better navigational hub than the pseudo-portal, because the article displays all the links simultaneously, whereas the portal displays them only one a time.

There is no previous history; the page was created as a fully-automated pseudo-portal. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:52, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete also these portals are not supported by the active WikiProject Math. I posted there about them and got no positive feedback. Legacypac (talk) 02:42, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Both a redundant fork of the article and a redundant subset of Portal:Mathematics. One of the more unnecessary of the unnecessary creations by the portal platoon. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:25, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Automated portal, 0 subpages, created 2019-01-03 06:57:45 by User:TTH, useless navigation tool, redundant to the existing articles and navboxes, and of lower quality: Portal:Equations. Pldx1 (talk) 08:19, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I disagree that this is redundant to Portal:Mathematics, however as it stands the main article does a much better job of covering this topic as almost all the material is there and many elements make more sense in context. Furthermore "equations" don't really form a recognised topic or subfield within mathematics, although specific kinds such as Differential equations and Diophantine equations do. As a result the subtopics here don't have very much in common. Hut 8.5 12:11, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
