[edit] Famous numbers

Entirely subjective, can't ever really be completed, and doesn't have any info that isn't in the separate entries for each number on the list already. DS 16:46, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Subjective/POV. WMMartin 16:52, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Author forgot to list "3" - I mean, come on now, 3 is definitely a famous number - everyone's heard of it! -- BD2412 ^talk 17:43, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete what no lucky number 7? --- Malo 18:03, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unmaintainable list. Ken ^{talk|contribs} 18:05, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and rename to Significant numbers in popular culture. Gateman1997 18:32, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Whose popular culture? British? Indonesian?Delete.Ashley Pomeroy 22:26, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Rename, as per Gateman.--Frag 18:33, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Subjective, Insane, Unmaintainable, Infinitely long, More calories than regular Dr. Pepper, etc. Preczewski 18:43, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's obviously misnamed because no number can be really 'famous'. I wouldn't be against a List of numbers with mathematical significance or List of numbers which have Biblical significance but I don't think it's possible to lump them all together and make a useful encyclopaedia article.

  • All numbers have mathematical significance. We don't have room for such a list because Wikipedia is not infinite. Uncle G 21:19:32, 2005-08-10 (UTC)
    • I was thinking of numbers such as e, Pi, the Golden ratio and such like. David | Talk 23:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unmaintanable, POV, unencyclopedic. -Splash 19:22, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• A list that is redundant with List of numbers#Notable_integers. No need for a redirect, as this title is not worth retaining, since it is not the correct title for a list article anyway. Delete. Uncle G 21:19:32, 2005-08-10 (UTC)
• Redirect, remove present content. JFW | T@lk 22:14, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. When I saw this this morning I posted a comment in the talk. I was too lazy to VfD it though. Mmmbeer 22:35, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
