And also this is what I wrote

"Reasons why the topic "Logical paradox" should have it's own page:

Distinct Concept: Logical paradoxes represent a distinct category of problems in logic, philosophy, and mathematics. While paradoxes in general can come from various domains (e.g., physical paradoxes, metaphysical paradoxes), logical paradoxes specifically highlight inconsistencies or self-referential issues that challenge the principles of logical reasoning itself.

Historical Importance: Logical paradoxes, such as the Liar Paradox, Russell's Paradox, and Zeno’s Paradoxes, have had significant historical and philosophical influence. These paradoxes have prompted key developments in formal logic, set theory, and the foundations of mathematics, shaping how we understand truth, consistency, and the structure of logical systems.

Cross-Disciplinary Relevance: Logical paradoxes are not confined to one field. They appear across mathematics, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, and even artificial intelligence. Their impact spans multiple disciplines, making a dedicated page beneficial for anyone researching these fields.

Educational Resource: Students and professionals in philosophy, logic, mathematics, and related fields often encounter logical paradoxes. A dedicated Wikipedia page can serve as an accessible resource, providing clear explanations, examples, and context for these complex problems.

Ongoing Debates and Solutions: Logical paradoxes continue to stimulate discussion and the development of solutions or workarounds (e.g., the resolution of the Liar Paradox, developments in non-classical logics like paraconsistent logic). A dedicated page can keep track of these ongoing debates and solutions, serving as a hub for modern philosophical and logical thought.

Clarification of Terminology: The term "Logical paradox" can sometimes be used interchangeably with "paradox" in general, but not all paradoxes are logical in nature. A separate page can clarify what constitutes a logical paradox and how it differs from other kinds of paradoxes.

Foundational Impact: Logical paradoxes often touch upon foundational aspects of logic, like self-reference, infinity, and the nature of truth. Having a distinct page allows for a focused discussion on how these paradoxes influence the development of logical theory and systems."
