| Dec 20, 2016 at 15:10 | comment | added | KConrad | I agree with Nate. It seems the spirit of the question is to seek results that were initially accepted, and before Wiles no "proof" of FLT was regarded as correct. If we allow other (incorrect) proofs of FLT then the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach's conjecture, and the $3x+1$ problem become examples too. | |

| Dec 20, 2016 at 8:33 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Were there really proofs prior to Wiles that were so widely accepted that the problem was generally considered to be settled? Purported proofs of FLT have long been rife, but I wouldn't say they shifted it from conjecture to theorem, since few people ever believed they were correct. | |
