The result was delete & redirect. Where to is the question, Position (vector) appears to be the most appropriate target from those proposed. KTC (talk) 07:27, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Point vector

This doesn't look notable enough for its own article. Furthermore, there aren't even any references. At the very least it should be redirected and merged into Euclidean vector or deleted. Transcendence (talk) 08:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I previously redirected the article to Null vector, which the author reverted. A gsearch provided very little on that term, so my best guess was that the article was simply a WP:CFORK of that article. My !vote would be to restore that redirect, unless anything can be salvaged for a merge (unlikely, seeing as the article is wholly unreferenced, and the article has more than a whiff of WP:MADEUP).

I am against redirecting it to Null Vector as a point vector implies the vector is one dimensional, not the zero vector. Transcendence (talk) 17:15, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Coordinate vector which is the more usual name for it. A Google search shows that the term is sometimes used, so redirect seems more appropriate than delete. --Mark viking (talk) 21:15, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Position (vector), which seems to explain the same concept far, far better. Coordinate vector is a somewhat different concept. -- 101.119.14.207 (talk) 13:25, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
