• Obviously hexadecimal (and all of the rest of these) are a topics worth having some wikipedia article about. Hexadecimal encoding in particular is often used by computers as a more visually compact representation for binary numbers (or more generally, arbitrary data). It's just not a "vital" part of mathematics worth being in a list of the most important articles on Wikipedia. –jacobolus (t) 05:08, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
  • The system that transposes the visible spectrum into a numerical code is very vital regardless of whether it is vital from a math perspective.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

    Hexadecimal-based encoding for 8 bit/channel RGB colors are a specific (mediocre) way of encoding a computer's internal representation of certain colors to be displayed on a technologically limited RGB display. They are not a "system that transposes the visible spectrum into a numerical code". This is of course worth describing, at RGB color model § Numeric representations. It's not really evidence that hexadecimal – as a number system – is of "vital" importance to anything. –jacobolus (t) 04:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

    I don't think it's that mediocre, if it was, other systems would be more universally used (these are intelligent programmers that developed and applied them). In fact, a larger system then would be too small [ "data-wise" ] to be used to represent different colors, so hexadecimal is right in between a compact form to represent bytes, and one that is still large enough (also, for character length and memory storage thereof, that is also easy to check); which is why it is preferred. Higher art that requires more detailed distinguishing color schemes might benefit from a larger base, however for everyday life, hexadecimal is very much sufficient. Hexadecimal as a level 5 Vital article is appropriate in terms of its applications in other areas as would be, say, the state of California to the Geography of the United States (level 4 Vital), but also to Economy of the U.S., and the World, especially in terms of innovative exports to other places that gain from Californian products and innovations. Radlrb (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

    In other words, Applied mathematics being a domain of Mathematics, these uses for hexadecimal [ including all collectively mentioned previously Radlrb (talk) 16:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC) ] therefore fall under mathematical applications for this specific number base.

Subset of machine learning that is the basis for every single ML breakthrough of the last 15 years. Has allowed us to achieve insane performance gains in tasks such as image classification (AlexNet), natural language processing (everything from word2vec to ChatGPT), and any other ML task you can name. Closely related to Artificial neural network but it is the breakthrough of being able to stack these networks in ways that still allowed models to train performantly that has been responsible for the recent AI boom that has impacted every industry.

Remove the Number entries from Units

---

In my mind, these 5 concepts are more dictionary entries than encyclopedic ones:

• Crore
• Dozen
• Gross (unit)
• Lakh
• Myriad

I actually added 3 of these last year before the proposals picked up, but that was a quota-hitting exercise. After thinking on it though, I'd like to see the Units list and eventually the quota for the Basics section cut back. Zar2gar1 (talk) 18:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

1. Strong oppose to Crore and Lakh, which are the standard way to communicate for people of the Indian subcontinent, aka for 1.8 billion-ish people, thus pretty vital. Support removing the rest due to being niche. The difference being that these are known rather than used. Respublik (talk) 11:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

   Right, and that's actually why I added them. The South Asian press even uses them in English-language media. So I agree they're as vital as the other numerical units... but I also think the numerical units in general are too close to dictionary items to be vital. -- Zar2gar1 (talk) 15:43, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Moved from WT:VA

Rhineura floridana is the only extant taxon in Rhineuridae, and is more likely to be vital than the higher classification. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 16:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Support

1. Support removal but not swap. Given that Rhineura floridana is restricted mostly to Florida whereas members of Amphisbaenidae are spread out among Africa, South America, and the Caribbean, I'm not sure why we would only feature the Florida worm over Amphisbaenidae or an example species from Amphisbaenidae.

Remove: Low Vitality Topics In Chemistry

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

There are approximately 1 bazillion chemical substances, most of which are rarely encountered and unimportant outside of a handful of niche applications. Worse still, many of these substances are chemically distinct but effectively interchangeable (e.g. sodium and potassium salts tend to be equally soluble and usually behave the same in solution). The following stand out to me as being worth removing:

Remove Tetraoxygen

An utterly insignificant allotrope of oxygen – it took nearly a century to confirm that it even exists (and it only does so for a few microseconds). Briefly mentioned in Oxygen  3, which is more than sufficient.

Remove Solid oxygen

Just about every element has a distinct solid, liquid, and gaseous state, most of which are not “vital”. Solid oxygen is rarely produced, has no applications outside of basic research, and can be contrasted with liquid tin which is enormously important (see float glass) but doesn’t even have its own article.

I think something Ediacaran related should be added, probably Ediacaran biota.
