Redirected
[edit]I reverted this page to a redirection page because recent editing had resulted in a page not that informative and because all essential information is found in the article on simple Lie groups. Also, it is somewhat misleading to mention only the year 1914 when Élie Cartan catalogued the real simple Lie groups and not the year 1894 when he laid the foundation of this result by cataloguing the complex simple Lie groups nor the huge previous work of Wilhelm Killing whereupon this result was based.

- Ok, reverting does make sense but, eventually, we do need an article on simple Lie algebras as the notion (and the classification) make sense over an arbitrary field. I have therefore moved the content to Draft:Simple Lie algebra, which can replace the redirect when it matured. I will also fix the history comment. —- Taku (talk) 22:56, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
