196:. I'm not yet sure whether a separate article on this subject is worth keeping or not, but if not, I think the redirect should go to fundamental group. If it is kept, we should add a "main article" link to the Functoriality section and merge some of the material from there into this article; the fact that some other sections of fundamental group already have their own main article links suggests that it was already thought to be a good idea to split the Knowledge material about fundamental groups into smaller articles, which lends support for keeping this one. —
231:(into the category of groups, rings, etc.) is going to give "induced homomorphisms". The article as it stands is a perversely narrow use of the word. At best, if this survives, it should be a disambiguation page indicating the various kinds of induced homomorphisms available. Redirection would serve no encyclopedically useful purpose.
980:
This is no longer anything like the article I nominated for deletion. Many of the comments, including my own, no longer apply. We should not second-guess whether the contributors of those early comments still hold the same view, and simply speedily close this. It can always be renominated if there is
692:
If it's one name for lots of content, then make it a disambiguation page. In any case, this deletion discussion is completely moot. Whether the page is deleted or not, somebody should (and hopefully will) come back at a future time and do the sensible thing with this page—and I doubt very much that
677:
is an appropriate one for the content. Although I suggested a merge above, I'm finding myself now more in agreement with the others who say that it's the wrong name (because so many other unrelated concepts could also be called an induced homomorphism) and therefore that the article in its present
489:
per Mct_mht's comments below. Mct_mht and Silly Rabbit are quite right that the term "induced homomorphism" is used in many more situations than just for the maps between the fundamental groups, such as the maps between homotopy, homology and cohomology groups. So it does make sense to keep the

which is induced. The homomorphism could be a group homomorphism, or a graph homomorphism or any number of other homomorphisms, and it can be induced in many different ways. Having an article by that name serves no useful purpose. It is reasonable that there would be an
525:
if i understand correctly, merging includes making this a redirect to it. as silly rabbit pointed out above, there are all kinds of induced homomorphisms, in homology, in K-theory... the list goes on. redirect to a particular context is a bad idea.
332:. I'm not sure what that target should be though... maybe I shouldn't be even saying "merge" then. Closing admin: I actually don't know what I'm talking about here probably, but it just seems like a good candidate for a merge to something else.
262:. "House numbering is the system of giving a unique number to each building in a street or area" etc. Now suppose it is decided that's not worth an article and it should be merged into something else. What to merge it into? Well,
569:
472:
is not appropriate, since "induced homomorphism" is primarily a topological notion while "homomorphism" refers to a general algebraic term. I do not see sufficient need for keeping a separate article about induced homomorphism.
578:
575:
572:

But I'm inclined to agree that it should either be made a disambiguation page or made into a discussion of the general concept with mention of various concrete examples including the one that the article is now about.

appears. Isn't that practically the best that we can do? Right away they see that there are many different induced homomorphisms, and that they should figure out from the context what this means.
651:
in some other article, putting it up for deletion is obviously the wrong solution. And if there's no good place to merge/redirect to, then apparently the concept needs to stand on its own, so
346:
per silly rabbit above. induced homomorphisms happen everywhere and each instance can be easily treated in the relevant context. having an article on one particular instance is pointless.
928:. Thanks to David Eppstein for expanding the article. It still needs work, but I think in its current form the scope is both notable and easily addressed in an encyclopedia article.
773:. But we cannot point them in the right direction, because we don't know what that direction is. If there is no page by that name, what happens? They get the list of pages where

keep this article. Notice that all but two of the meanings are different in these different places and the two that are the same are not the same as the one discussed in
270:? "In team sports, the squad number, shirt number, jersey number, sweater number, or uniform number is the number worn on a player's uniform." What to merge it into?

strong feeling by anyone that the article should be deleted, but it appears to me there is a sufficient turn of opinion in favour of closing as
