Hi Shapeyness. I am planning on running Quine–Putnam indispensability argument as the TFA on 21 November. Given how technical the article is, I wondered if you fancied having a go at the blurb? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:02, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
The Quine–Putnam indispensability argument is an argument in the philosophy of mathematics for the existence of abstract mathematical objects such as numbers and sets. One of the most important arguments in the philosophy of mathematics, it is credited to W. V. Quine and Hilary Putnam. The roots of the argument can be traced back to thinkers such as Gottlob Frege and Kurt Gödel, but Quine introduced the argument's key components, including naturalism and confirmational holism. Putnam gave Quine's argument its first detailed formulation, although he later came to disagree with various aspects of Quine's thinking. The argument claims that we should believe in mathematical objects because mathematics is indispensable to science. Many counterarguments have been raised to this idea. An influential argument by Hartry Field claims that mathematical entities are dispensable to science. Other philosophers have argued that we do not need to believe in all of the entities that are indispensable to science.
This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 20 November 2023. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 20, 2023, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/November 2023.

Thank you today for the article, - rare math on the Main page! - Introduced as "about one of the most important arguments in the philosophy of mathematics - according to some, the only good non-question-begging argument at all for platonism. The basic idea is that we should believe in numbers and other mathematical objects because they are indispensable to our best scientific theories. Behind that basic idea is a mix of complex ideas about the nature and goals of philosophy, how we come to know which things exist and which don't, and how language ties into answering these question."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
