Unfortunately, there’s more than one theorem with Cauchy’s name attached.

My first association would be Cauchy theorem in complex analysis. Maybe this page could be called Cauchy’s theorem on finite groups ?

Sure, I have renamed the entry to Cauchy’s theorem (group theory).

I've always heard ‘Cauchy's theorem’ referring to the theorem from group theory; the one in complex analysis is ‘Cauchy's integral theorem’ to me.
