Talk:Musean hypernumber
There is a history of dispute with respect to the article, which can be traced from it's previous location ([[hypernumber]]), in the [[Talk:Hypernumber|talk]] page. Ignoring all the references that I gave (most of them formally published) and replacing them with a single reference to a single-user-maintained religious web site is inacceptable to me, therefore I resurrected the deleted content here as a first step. Maybe the new location, [[Musean hypernumber]], is more acceptable for the time being. Je(contracted; show full)
:To support notability here, I would personally put de-mystification first. I picture Wikipedia showing what hypernumbers after Musès really are, what actually has mathematical support, and what is to-date speculative concept. Without an easily accessible overview here, we would continue to leave the concept open for exploitation by various agendas, some questionable. For example, people who are contemplating joining the "lion path" re
gligious movement are not pulling-up journal articles.
:Secondly, I find the article notable for completeness, taking advantage of Wikipedia to expose a wider public to a concept. If the introduction of an article is reflecting the nature of the article itself, I find it justifiable to mention even fringe topics like the current.
:Obviously, my personal involvement in ongoing research is a motivation to raise awareness to the concept. I'm working with a small group to establish rigorous defining relations for number concepts that are similar to Musean numbers. To us, Musean hypernumbers are obviously notable. I would put this third to support notability, knowing that this is its weakest pillar.
:Hopefully the above outlines and supports notability. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how certain concerns could be accomodated. I still have to incorporate feedback (see above) into the article, and hope to have it updated by the end of January.
