Proofs Subpage

I just noticed the new "Proofs" subpage. I did a little searching on CZ and the forums, but coudn't find any discussion about this. Did I miss such a discussion? The description says: "For (mathematical) proofs which are neither suitable for the main article, nor a /Tutorial or /Student Level subpage". Is there some reason why a standard /Advanced subpage would not be suitable for such material? I understand that other types of material might be on an /Advanced subpage, while /Proofs is more specific, and so perhaps better. But it seems to me that some serious discussion should occur before this subpage is adopted across a wide range of pages. For instance, what is suitable for /Tutorial, what is suitable for /Student Level, what is suitable for a main article, and what does not fall under any of these?

It seemed to me that the forum discussion you are referring to was intended for the "official" subpages, rather than the "Article-specific subpages". These (Article-specific subpages) seemed to me like they were supposed to be more organic in nature, with unwanted/unused ones simply never becoming "official"...and more popular ones eventually being discussed and adopted (or not).David Yamakuchi 00:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
