What's the purpose of this page? It's rather badly formatted and contains just a few new facts besides the parent page. --Blashyrkh (talk) 08:55, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
- I agree, and I think it would make more sense if moved to a subpage of the original poster's user page. Disregarding that, I feel like deleting this might be better than keeping it up if it's not helpful. Everything done by this page would be done better by the actual page / that page's talk page. -- Squidmanescape (talk) 18:28, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
- The purpose is to show the derivations of the combinators via reductions rather than just stating the result. That seems pretty obvious. It helps with understanding the more complex combinators in terms of others. It didn't seem complete, but that's fine for a wiki page. I don't understand why this page was moved to a particular User's userspace, then edited by other users as if it were a main-space page. From the content, and the way is being treated by subsequent editors, it seems to belong in main-space. Salpynx (talk) 22:01, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
- I think if this is helpful, the information should be moved to the Combinatory logic page or become its own page. I just assumed it wasn't helpful because of what Blashyrkh said. I guess I shouldn't have brought up moving it to the user's page in hindsight. - Squidmanescape (talk) 02:19, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
- I moved this to a subpage of User:Hppavilion1 because they created the page. However, I saw that Hppavilion1 has not been active since 2024. Was it a good idea to move the page? Bobby Jacobs (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2026 (UTC)
