Hi, I inserted the "translated page" template because the source German Wikipedia is not mentioned elsewhere. This banner can be removed if correct source licensing has been done. -- KurtSchwitters (talk) 19:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Mark Vishik's seminar at Moscow State University

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge, without prejudice for subsequent discussions, given stale discussion leaving hanging uncontested objections and published evidence of independent notability. Klbrain (talk) 21:14, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The seminar does not appear to have any independent notability. I suggest merging the articles into one. Jmertel23 (talk) 15:25, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to disagree. Two cited articles featuring the seminar were published in Amer. Math. Soc. Transl. indicating the independent notability. (The seminar lasted for 50+ years and essentially tells the story of the development of the subject of Partial Differential Equations, one of very few such events attracting top mathematicians from Russia (well beyond Moscow) and other countries, particularly France. The seminar was a prime event, or should we say, a legend, in the mathematics life at Moscow State University). There would be very few comparable events worldwide. A comparable entity featured on Wikipedia would be Séminaire Nicolas Bourbaki. The Wikipedia still lacks a similar description of I.M. Gelfand's seminar.

Support; list of seminars is good to have, but there's no reason why this shouldn't be a subsection of the existing article (which is hardly bursting its bounds). No one is going to go searching for "Mark Vishik's seminars at Moscow State University", they are going to search for "Mark Vishik", and that's where they should find this. List can be made a pre-collapsed one if it dominates the article too much. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:44, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the support! Regarding merging this page with the Mark Vishik article: speaking of the search, if one searches on Google (anonymously) for the "vishik seminar", then "Mark Vishik's seminar ..." seems to be the top match (the longer name was given to the page so that it is more descriptive). An (anonymous) Google search on "pde seminar at moscow state" yields the "Mark Vishik's seminar ..." page as the third match (with the top match being the book about Mark Vishik's seminar). Also please have a look at the page Séminaire Nicolas Bourbaki, where even the lists of talks during 1950--1959 and 1960-1969 are given as separate pages, so probably such a merging is not a common practice at Wikipedia.
