A purely trivia page with zero significance. Moreover it is not at all uncommon for mathematicians to visit IAS for a year, and this is the majority of the present "affiliations". It would be only particularly meaningful if restricted to permanent members of IAS, but the list would then be vastly smaller. Even then, the page would still only serve a promotional purpose.

Merge any relevant encyclopedic content to Fields Medal. It makes no sense to have this page and not pages for other institutions. Some content could go into a subjection such as "Affiliation": for instance, "Of the 56 individuals who have received the Fields Medal as of 2015, 41 are mathematicians who have been affiliated with the IAS as some point in their career." looks like a relevant thing to mention in an appropriate section on characteristics of Fields Medal recipients.

Update: I merged a bit of relevant information to Fields Medal. I think the rest of the article should just be scrapped. Caleb Stanford (talk) 00:37, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Fields Medal to preserve the attribution history of the edits mentioned above. Nothing suggests that people other than the IAS have cared about this. XOR'easter (talk) 17:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
^^ IAS is compiling its own list of Fields medalists associated with the Institute to be displayed on the upcoming IAS Accolades webpage. This article is superfluous and need not remain available IAScomms1930 (talk) 18:22, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
