According to the last comment on the talk page, the article is no longer being maintained and therefore lost its purpose. Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:14, 9 December 2016 (UTC) reply

• Move to List of probability theory concepts unless a similar list already exists.

From the last AfD, this seems to be a navigational-only article, but it does not mean it is only for editors. OK, having the codes for Ctrl-F and all that is weird for a namespace article, but (1) WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP (2) it is a net benefit for readers (at worse they do not care), so why remove it?

• A similar list already exists, see List of probability topics. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:44, 9 December 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete per WP:FORK. If anyone wants to merge these lists, go ahead. Bearian ( talk) 19:10, 9 December 2016 (UTC) reply

• Merge to List of probability topics per above. The "Specific distributions" section could be incorporated into List of probability distributions. More work than pressing a delete button, but would make these list articles more complete : Noyster (talk), 12:40, 15 December 2016 (UTC) reply

A nonstandard option: merge into the category system! Indeed, according to the previous-to-last comment on the talk page, "we have categories for this purpose". Really? What about turning a number of "codes" used on this page into new categories? Boris Tsirelson ( talk) 19:58, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply
