I borrowed all of the formatting here from List of mathematicians. I also preserved some of the enteries. Counting set theory as a part of mathematical logic I have kept set theoriticians on the list.

I am sure that the list is woefully incomplete. I also have not gone around (yet) and placed links to the list.

I put this up because I had no where to put a link my recently created Leon Henkin. Perhaps it might not seem that a seperate list of logicians (over and above the mathematcians list) is needed. But

Some famous logicians aren't necessarily famous in the broader community of mathematicians (Henkin might well be an example), and
A good many famous logicians are philosophers, linguists and computer scientists rather than mathematicians. Saul Kripke for example.

If people are going to use lists via the Recent Changes link, it is better to have them more rather than less inclusive. I'd say include anyone who you personally feel qualifies.

I have linked to this from the list of topics in logic. NB that there is a separate list of mathematical logic topics.

Removal of red names[edit]

I'm tempted to remove names of logicians who don't have pages of their own. This would be consistent with other people lists on Wikipedia. Anyone opposed? --Simoes 16:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Simoes 20:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't be consistent with all people lists on Wikipedia. (See list of philosophers and its subpages.) However, since this list is pretty sparse and not especially well-sourced, it seems permissible. KSchutte 23:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Computer scientists working in logic[edit]

We could include more computer scientists contributing to the theoretical development of logic. I added Thierry Coquand, Gérard Huet, and Christine Paulin-Mohring, who have been working on type theory (which counts as logic). Mpiedrav 17:15, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
