indeterminate form[edit]

Why do we need a link to indeterminate form here? 1/infinity is not an indeterminate form, nor are we talking about the same notion of infinitesimal as that implied in the "equivalent infinitesimal" discussion. This is not even tangentially related. Tkuvho (talk) 14:07, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because readers might be confused about the question, whether or not this is an indeterminate form or not. It sure looks like one for the uninitiated. From where they could get the necessary background information, if there is no link to the other article? Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#See_also_section says that "The links in the "See also" section might be only indirectly related to the topic of the article because one purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics." This is indirectly related, because the form of expression might be confused with one of the indeterminate forms. (don't talk secrets) (talk) 06:07, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think this looks like an indeterminate form, and in any case including a link to every article which 1/infinity is not would make for a very long section indeed. Tkuvho (talk) 09:48, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
