230 (number)

non-notable number — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating 240 (number) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Both created by Jesterjester, {{prod}}'d by me, deprod'd by Cfred, speedy redirected to 200 (number) by me, and edited primarily by Anton Mravcek — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy redirect to 200 (number). — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For both: Merge and redirect. --Lambiam ^Talk 22:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep both. this are very intersting numbers, we're not talking about some randonmly chosen integer like 10061092961. Arthur's just mad his prod "non-notable integer" was quickly proven wrong. 230 and 240 are both very notable integers. Numerao 23:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just mad? My impression is he's always mad :). Furthermore, 10061092961 has many more interesting properties than 230 and 240 combined. Maybe I'll write an article about it after I've done all smaller interesting numbers. --Lambiam ^Talk 23:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete to conform with WP:NUM. It's arbitrary and it's not policy, but I suppose there has the be a limit. Not sure I understand the reasoning for redirecting to 200, though. ScottW 00:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect per Arthur's reasoning below. ScottW 16:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without redirect, unless there is some pressing and compelling reason why 200 would have anything to do with 230 (and not the mere fact that they are part of the same set of hundred numbers) Hobbeslover ^{talk/contribs} 00:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC) Redirect per User:Arthur_Rubin Hobbeslover ^{talk/contribs} 03:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. See WP:NUM#Creation of Articles, and note Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1002 (number), among others, ended with a (speedy) redirect, rather than a delete. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 01:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep both. Split the 200 (number) article into 10 articles, one for each group of 10 in the range from 200-299. The 230 (number) article should cover the range 230-239 and the 240 (number) should cover the range 240-249. Georgia guy 13:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep both. The fact that the same person who proposed deletion is the one who nominated for deletion is very bad form, in my opinion. If it was up to me this whole thing would be dismissed on those grounds alone. Robert Happelberg 16:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Why is it a problem that the person adding the prod tag also brought it here? Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion is clear that this is the procedure to follow. From the Conflicts section "Contested deletions: If anyone, including the article's creator, removes Template:Prod from an article for any reason, do not put it back. If you still believe the article needs to be deleted, list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion." ScottW 16:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If i undertand the prod template correctly, its to be used by people who think their might be a need to delete but aren't sure. If your sure it needs to be deleted, you should say so from the get-go. Thats what i think bout that. Numerao 20:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, the prod tag is for deletions that you feel are uncontroversial. Any deletion that may be contested or that you are unsure of goes to AfD. This is why so many things in AfD are articles which are contested prods. ScottW 21:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 230. Its relation to space groups makes it a very interesting number in my book. I reserve the right to vote on 240 later this week. PrimeFan 22:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC) P.S. I'd be a lot more concerned about articles on numbers like 12345678987654321 (number) which have nothing interesting about them besides being pandigital in one base.[reply]
- Comment. I'm working on it. Grumble. He created 3 categories and several implausible redirects, also. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
