Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in mathematics
It is a fundamental principle of wikipedia that the editors are capable of determining issues of notability. In this instance, the question that arises is "Is this paper notably important?". This kind of criterion for inclusion on a list is explicitly provided in , which in fact goes on to state that: "Most of the Wikipedia:FL|best lists on Wikipedia reflect this type of editorial judgment." If the rationale for deletion is that this list can't be compiled without OR, then  contradicts this rationale in this instance because it is indeed possible to assess the notability of mathematics writings through secondary sources. Furthermore, as a side comment, the notability of the list itself, per , is substantiated by books such as Ivor Grattan-Guinness's well-respected http://books.google.com/books?id=UdGBy8iLpocC Landmark writings in Western mathematics 1640–1940
