What is the purpose of this list?

It seems just to list articles which have "point" in their name, otherwise of little relation to each other. Keφr (talk) 11:59, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's like List of theorems. -- Taku (talk) 12:42, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Theorems at least have some common structure to them: antecedent, consequent, proof. I can't say the same about things like decimal point (the full stop, when used to write real numbers), fixed point (an argument of a function) and accumulation point (topological/analytical meaning). It looks like someone confused different meanings of "point". Listing these things together as related is... pointless. Keφr (talk) 15:30, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But we are not including things like Point Pleasant (TV series). Maybe a decimal point isn't point; but I think the others are genuine points. The imporant thing is to have a good inclusion criterion. (By the way, I liked the show.) -- Taku (talk) 20:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that one. I put in decimal point, as a joke, because I thought much like Keφr that this list was kind of pointless — too indiscriminate to be useful. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that a case of disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point? Ba dum tss. Keφr (talk) 23:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
