Draft:Square root of pi
Irrational number / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The square root of pi (Approximately 1.7724) is a positive real number, that when multiplied by itself, equals the number pi (π). It is more precisely called the principal square root of pi to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property. It may be written in mathematics as , Γ(1/2) or sqrt(π).[1] It is not the root of a non-zero polynomial and therefore is a transcendental number.[2]

- Comment: We need reliable sources with in depth coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Don't get me wrong, I'd love to approve the square root of pi as an article, but currently the sourcing is just not there. Half of the references exist to support the fact that "pi was discussed in pop culture X", and with a mathematical constant of this scale and magnitude, focusing on the technical aspects of this number within mathematics would be preferential.This article was deleted 18 years ago during an AfD; I think there's been plenty of time since then to give this another go in article-space, given that since then Pi has become a featured article and is the 3rd most viewed number article on Wikipedia only behind 0 and 1, receiving more pageviews than every other integer.Because of this, as well as Pi's Featured Article status, I don't think merging with Pi is the right call, as it would be overriding the precedent and existing content there. If there's any place to talk about the square root of pi, I feel it would be on its own standalone article.Still though, all things being equal, the sources that are provided seem to be routine coverage from math databases, and aren't currently enough to demonstrate the notability of this topic.
