Draft:Direct differentiation and integration of logarithms (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

It is not possible to see how this draft can turn out to be a mainspace article in the future, even with some stylistic changes (as the topic is already adequately covered in mainspace). No need to let the draft continue to be developed. Cf. User_talk:Paul_Carpenter#wikipedia purposes. -- Taku (talk) 00:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Already in mainspace, and already far better covered in mainspace. Nothing here is useful for improving any mainspace article, so delete entirely to eliminate any possible thought of merging. Advise Kkmal.Hamouda (talk · contribs) to get up to speed editing mainspace and to not attempt to reinvent either the wheel or calculus. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:05, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Fails WP:NOT and is well-covered in mainspace. No point for a G13 here. JavaHurricane 15:37, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep - This is a draft that needed rejecting and has been rejected. Leave it in draft space either to be redirected to mainspace or to expire of old age. We don't need to delete every cruddy draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Robert McClenon: (If I may make a general comment), actually this is why either a redirect or an MfD like this is preferable than a G13, for the case like this one, since we will then have a public record on the specific reason for why the draft was deleted. -- Taku (talk) 23:55, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Wikipedia is not a textbook. Already covered at Natural logarithm. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep depending on whether it's been tendentiously resubmitted. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 19:18, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• I have no opinion about the vote, but if you redirect, it seems that we can also consider differential equations. As a definition of ${\displaystyle e^{x))$, I think there was a definition of a function that differentiates once and returns to the original function. But it doesn't seem necessary to be independent of the differential equations page.--SilverMatsu (talk) 12:04, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The draft is so inferior to existing articles that it is hopeless to waste effort on finding the closest match. There is nothing to merge. This is why "delete". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:21, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
