[edit] 111,111,111 (number)

Yet another one of the infinite set of integers got an article. Not much info either.

• Keep. This is a mathematically notable integer that has unique and special properties, as shown in the article. When squared, the number produces the following number: "12345678987654321" which is all of the integers (except 0) in ascending and descending order. Mathematically speaking, this is a totally unique occurrance in the infinite set of integers.--Nicodemus75 02:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I guess you mean digits, not integers. Yes, it is a unique occurrance, but not a particularly interesting one. We could find something unique about every integer. JPD 09:57, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

If you can find three different mathematically interesting and seemingly unrelated properties of the number, then Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers can endorse this article. Being the square root of a pandigital number is a base-dependent property, and as such, it is not that interesting mathematically. PrimeFan 17:33, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as just another integer. The one minor mathematical trick ties it to a number that isn't particularly important, either. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It does a cute trick, but it's just an integer. MCB
• Delete. All postive integers are interesting, so they have to be more than interesting to get an article. JPD 09:57, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Every number is interesting, but it is policy that every number is not article-worthy, because even not paper is finite. Xoloz 13:07, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge the interesting factoid into Orders of magnitude (numbers), then delete this page. Interestiong facts about numbers over 100 can always be merged somewhere... — RJH 15:28, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This is already mentioned at 100000000 (number). If anything else interesting about 111111111 turns up, it can be added there. And if enough interesting things are written there (which I doubt) then and only then would this number warrant its own article. Today it doesn't. PrimeFan 19:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

• REDIRECT to 100000000 (number) since the only point of substance is already in the latter article. —Phil | Talk 06:46, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
