Theory of algebraic numbers?[edit]
@Infovarius: I have marked "studied by: theory of algebraic numbers" deprecated because there is no "theory of algebraic numbers" as a mathematical discipline. There seem to be a lot of such items and in a long term, they definitely should at least only serve as linkage of different pages in different Wikimedia projects, not participate in any real-life statements. 慈居 (talk) 21:40, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, 慈居, I kind of agree with you. Even created a discussion. But I suppose either we have some different technical label for these items, or we use this as "usual" discipline. --Infovarius (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
- Can you explain your idea further? How to distinguish them from real disciplines? Besides using different labels for these items, one way I can think of is to clarify by a statement "theory of algebraic numbers: subclass of: imaginary academic discipline for a free topic", or something like that. But still, a statement like "theory of algebraic numbers: part of: algebraic number theory" sounds like a joke to me. 慈居 (talk) 18:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- Just add a name of the author as it is part of his discipline. --Infovarius (talk) 20:35, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Well, I guess this is only a partial solution to the problem. There are notable disciplines that are named after significant contributors to the subject, e.g. Galois theory (Q92552), or even Grothendieck's Galois theory (Q5610719). 慈居 (talk) 07:07, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
