Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in mathematics
I was brought here by a thread over at WT:WPM, and I was expecting to see compelling arguments to delete this on the grounds of , which I came prepared to refute.  Happily, I see no compelling deletion arguments at all.  The article has many cleanup issues, and I think it needs to be about half of its current length, with better sources.  However, my reasons for voting keep are: (1) In some form, this list clearly satisfies a necessary niche in the encyclopedia (though perhaps "important" doesn't do the topic justice: "landmark" might be a better choice).  (2) The claim of  fails to identify any specific entries on the list.  Looking at the list, I have no doubt that it ''might'' contain some original research, but I think there can be no serious argument that there is a basic core there that is worthy of inclusion.  At the very least, entire books have been written that will attest to the significance of Euclid's ''Elements'', Newton's ''Principia'', or Gauss's ''Disquisiones''.  Furthermore, books like Ivor Grattan-Guinness's "Landmark writings in western mathematics" could be used as a general source for much of the article if necessary
