Hello. Was Ronald Graham listed on Votes for deletion before you deleted him? It's just that I didn't see him there... You are familiar with the deletion policy, aren't you? Just checking... -- Oliver P. 15:42 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Ronald Graham was not listed on Votes for deletion. The article was a mere link to a webpage that is "still under construction" and gives very little information about Graham. I am familiar with the deletion policy, and I deemed this article to fall under rule #6: "delete pages that simply will never become encyclopedia articles." Kingturtle 16:02 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. If the page consisted only of a link, then I would consider it to be fair game for immediate deletion, under the "no useful content" rule. Guideline no. 6 doesn't apply, though. As the guideline clarifies, it is talking about "completely idiosyncratic non-topics". Ronald Graham is a valid topic - the man is a real mathematician, and Graham's number is named after him, for example - and so there will be an article on him one day. In fact, I might make a start on it right now. :) -- Oliver P. 17:25 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- To be honest, in reference to the website this article pointed to, it seemed like a joke. that page is so low-key that i thought it was JOKING when it said the Graham's number was named after *this* graham. well, you live, you learn :) Kingturtle 22:43 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Another Graham
If you want to open a new thread do that and go learn how to create a new page with the same name.
Do not delete important already there, just because you have something else to add!
[edit] More Recent Picture??
Is there a more recent picture of him?? He looks very young for a 72 year old in those pictures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.202.22 (talk) 02:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
