Requested move involving this page
See Talk:Numerical methods for linear least squares, there is a requested move to return the page there to this location. This page currently redirects to Ordinary least squares, a different topic. 76.66.198.128 (talk) 03:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's a different title, anyway. It was never really established to be a different topic. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:11, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- If the topic covered by Numerical methods for linear least squares and Ordinary least squares are the same topic, the renaming it was wrong. If this title represents the same topic as Numerical methods for linear least squares, then this would still redirect to Numerical methods for linear least squares. As both pages exist, then they must be different topics. Note that a subtopic is a different topic from the topic it is a subtopic of (a subset is different from its superset, except in trivial cases, therefore they are different sets, if it is a trivial case, renaming the article was foolish; Wikipedia does not keep two articles about the exact same topic around, only supersets and subsets.). 76.66.198.128 (talk) 13:24, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
