Merge proposal
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- To merge Zhegalkin polynomial and Reed–Muller expansion into Algebraic normal form as synonyms; no support for the additional proposal involving Normal form (Boolean algebra). Klbrain (talk) 19:46, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
I propose merging Zhegalkin polynomial into Algebraic normal form as these describe the same concept and the articles indicate that.Caralice (talk) 17:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge – I also propose merging Reed–Muller expansion into Algebraic normal form, if truly they describe the same concept as the article indicates. 47.229.123.105 (talk) 04:41, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge all into Normal form (Boolean algebra). D.Lazard (talk) 17:46, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Merge the 3, not all 4 There is plenty of material here for the merged article. The normal form article should only summarize. --Macrakis (talk) 18:21, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

MagisTau, D.Lazard, Macrakis: this has been ready to merge for about a year now. Is anyone interested in carrying it out? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 19:08, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
- I might do it after I finish my exams, but I'm not very proficient with Wikipedia, which is why I didn't attempt merging myself. MagisTau (talk) 14:06, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- I went ahead and completed the merge. It could definitely still use cleaning up, so please feel free to help out with that. I wasn't able to integrate most of the content from the article for Reed-Muller expansions because the content was to technical for Wikipedia in my opinion (and per a tag on the page) and it was uncited. If someone wants to have a go at merging more of that content you can find it here (link to last unmerged diff of that page) ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 18:26, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
