I would also like to ask for potential names for the new page. My original edit called the page "Cubic
Formula", but I am open to alternative names. For the record, several other language wikis use some variation on "Cardano's Formula", but I do not feel this is appropriate, since the page treats

My opinion is that it is worth to split away the cubic formula, but that, before splitting, one must reorganize the article for making a correct split simpler. This means having a single section "Cubic formula (for depressed cubics) and its derivations", and the other results regrouped in other

What should be moved away? There are two possible choices: 1/ Moving all the content relative to the cubic equation. The drawback is that the remainder article would be very short (this was the motivation of a merge in 2007). 2/ Moving away only the cubic formula and its derivation. If this is

says "Probably should be divided (although the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading time)". Beyond pure length, these two subjects deserve independent treatment - the cubic formula is interesting in and of itself, for reasons that are distinct from why cubic functions are

Hi, I recently took steps to split information about the solutions to a cubic function to its own page, but my edit was undone to allow this to be discussed here. I would therefore like to formally propose that we split these two topics into distinct pages. This current page is around 80,000

I agree to split the article, but, as I said in my edit summary, this is a major edit that require a consensus and a discussion on some details. Here are some of them
