Is there a reliable source that confirms this theorem is actually known as "Rychlik's theorem" ? If not, I suggest this article should be merged into Equichordal point problem. Gandalf61 (talk) 11:45, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the observation that this does not seem to be an eponymous theorem. A Google search results in a single hit referring to Rychlik's solution on the equichordal point problem by this name. The other results refer to earlier results! I do think this should be renamed to equichordal point problem. I am awaiting more comments before I will go ahead with renaming.

There is a problem, though, with simple renaming. This article only discusses Rychlik's solution. We need a general article on the equichordal point problem. Unfortunately, the very article has been turned into a redirect. Currently, the easiest solution seems to be adding some general context to this article, omit all the references to the now redirected article, and then rename it. Thoughts?
