| Mar 14, 2019 at 23:50 | comment | added | Joshua P. Swanson | @zibadawatimmy: Perhaps I was unclear. I'm not disputing that this question is "off-topic". I'm saying I despise that classification in this case. The stated justification about not producing a useful response is not applicable here since there are plenty of useful responses. I also have yet to hear any convincing harm caused by this sort of question. On the flip side, StackExchange communities getting trigger-happy with closing threads many people actually find useful is so common as to be a trope, which in my view is the real harm. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 19:31 | comment | added | zibadawa timmy | @JoshSwanson It was closed some 3 years ago, 3 years after it was opened. The site's standards and culture have changed noticeably from 6 years ago, and a lot of questions such as this one which were once well-received are no longer considered desirable. And number of upvotes is a poor measure of on-topic-ness; it measures popularity, only, which is pretty easy to achieve with off topic things. | |
| May 3, 2018 at 21:36 | comment | added | Joshua P. Swanson | I hate that this question has been closed as off-topic. 1) The help center says this sort of question "can be helpful to the community, but it is extremely tricky to ask them in a way that produces a useful response". Well, this question has a good number of upvotes, many favorites, and several useful answers, so clearly it's been asked in a way that's helpful to the community. 2) What in the world is the harm in this sort of question? | |

This is not a nice question on a group devoted to the research and serious mathematical entertainment. We should not be any part of games related to ficticiously promoting or destroing some mathematicians' careers. | |

| Jul 12, 2013 at 22:15 | comment | added | Misha | @BenjaminSteinberg: Ben: Actually, most of the sources which google finds are not very useful (for unrelated reason, yesterday I spent 2 hours trying). 1. wiki page lists top 10 only. 2. IMU working group/blog- nothing of value. 3. ARC is again not very useful and, now, dated. The best sources I found are behind the paywall: a) MathSciNet: Top 100 by IF. b) Univ of California library's subscription for ICR: Pretty much everything. (Subject to the usual caveat that IF in many cases produces crappy answers, especially for applied math journals.) | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 17:04 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | @Frank different people in community have different opinions.often questions are closed and reopened. | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 15:17 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | I voted to close because one can simply google these things and there is even a wikipage about this kind of thing. I don't see what can be added by the community other than linking to what google already has. Your question on Godel, on the other hand, is a great fit. | |

| Jul 11, 2013 at 13:26 | comment | added | Felipe Voloch | @Frank This is not an unanimous view but, for many people here (myself included) MO is for mathematics only, not for all things of interest to research mathematicians. I hope it is clear to you that your question is not mathematics. | |

simplified the question
