• The consistency of the existence of strongly inaccessible cardinals can not be proved under ZFC.

• • Is that correct? I thought the existence of strongly inaccessible cardinals can (provably) not be proved, while it is open whether their non-existence can be proved. In other words, "the consistency of the existence of strongly inaccessible cardinals" has not yet been proved while the consistency of their non-existence has been proved.

Yes, your version is correct. That existence of inacc. cardinals cannot be proved is a direct consequence of the 2nd incompleteness theorem (one observes that the set of all sets with rank less than that of an inacc. cardinal form a model of ZFC). Incidentally, wouldn't it be better to have the main article at Cardinal number? "Cardinal" has a pretty well-defined religious meaning as well, and "cardinal number" is not outdated.

not to mention the bird. And the baseball team.--MichaelTinkler

Ok, I'm convinced. Cardinal number it is. --AxelBoldt

As this refers to a subdivision/less obvious definition of the term, could it be emphasised that it is the number that is being referred to, not a religious person being away from their phone (g). Jackiespeel 18:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

Cardinal → Cardinal (disambiguation) — We should really give the main article to what is now Cardinal (Catholicism). A look at "what links here" shows this is overwhemingly the main use involved. The mathmatical use is at Cardinal number, & if there were a predominant sports team using the term they could have "Cardinals" (I don't have a view on that). Few people can really link to "Cardinal" when they mean "cardinal bird", and the other uses are minor. This page should herefore become "Cardinal (disambiguation)" —Johnbod 20:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose Incoming links is a very bad test; all it shows is that we have lots of separate articles on individual Princes of the Church, whereas we only have one article on individual cardinal numbers. So what? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 07:03, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
