It-burns-my-eyes oppose
- Far too jargonic to be understandable for most people, even those with more mathematical knowledge (heck, I got most of Polar coordinates at FAC, but this has me utterly stumped). The lead fails to even give a readable layman definition of polytope.
- Overgrown table of Content
- Too many redlinks in the larger tables
- See also section bloated with unnecessary links.
- Unbolded lead topic
And so on. Circeus 21:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose For all of the reasons above. It also doesn't help that there are no individual citations at all. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, since there is no other reason to have entries be cited individually here (unlike e.g. the lists of LGBT people), we have a firmly established precedent that general citations are fine for lists (and they have the advantage of being more manageable for use: see Discoveries of the chemical elements).

Weak Oppose Very jargonistic, but to a certain extent I can understand a list like this being a little dense. A bit more layman explanations would go along way. Also, the lead is really choppy and full of one-sentence paragraphs. Drewcifer 19:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
