List of important publications in statistics

This is a disorganized list that is impossible to define and almost as impossible to maintain. It appears to have been abandoned and now appears to be a repository for 'favorite textbooks.' —G716 <^T·_C> 04:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. —Cliff smith ^talk 04:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Why do you consider this impossible to define? Why is it any more difficult to define than any of the other "lists of important publications", such as list of important publications in mathematics, list of important publications in computer science, list of important publications in biology, list of important publications in physics, list of important publications in economics, list of important publications in psychology, etc., etc., which you don't seem to have currently on the AfD list?

List of important publications in statistics and the other article listed by Michael Hardy are part of The science pearls project. Creating the list should be the first part of the project. In later stage a wiki article should be created for every paper. We are aware of the problem with the inclusion criteria in the current stage and we try to cope with it. The chemistry page is modified by some wikipedian that discuss in depth each paper. In the computer science page I consulted many Turing award winners and other experts. Sometimes there are entries that are not justified but I see it as the evolution of usual wiki article. We don't delete article due to imperfection.APH 06:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
