501 (number)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is a stub with no notable information about the number. JuliaSet2i (talk) 03:07, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to address the subject directly in detail. Regards, RJH (talk) 03:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * There is one sentence of non-obvious information in the article. Merge and redirect it to 500 (number). Lady  of  Shalott  05:14, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redirecting it to 500 sounds stupid to me (like Wikipedia can't count or something).  Interesting that it is the sum of the first eighteen primes, but that alone won't cut it for encyclopedic content. --Legis (talk - contribs) 08:29, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * A solution to that might be to move the page 500 (number) to something like Numbers equal to or greater than 500 and less than 600. James500 (talk) 21:50, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, no, no. This is how all of our X (number) articles are organized.   Sławomir Biały  (talk) 19:12, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect 500 (number) which is an ideal target. The article does not provide evidence of notability per WP:Notability_(numbers) and also fails WP:GNG. However, information is included which can appropriately be included in the target article. A redirect is useful as a likely search term. Thincat (talk) 10:24, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as that appears to be the consensus on numbers that are not inherently notable, yet have some bit of interesting information about them. Σ Α Π Φ (Sapph) Talk 16:19, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to this subsection of the main 500 article. Borderline case, but I don't think there's anything about 501 that makes it significant enough for its own article.  Master&amp;  Expert ( Talk ) 08:15, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. This article clearly does not meet Notability (numbers).   Sławomir Biały  (talk) 16:02, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. WP:NUMBER asks for three interesting mathematical properties of the given number. I found, sourced, and added to the article five of them. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:52, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep after improvements. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:17, 14 December 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep. Satisfies WP:NUMBER. James500 (talk) 16:49, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. It does seem to satisfy WP:NUMBER.  Sławomir Biały  (talk) 19:14, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I have struck my earlier comment. The article now meets WP:NUMBER and at this rate will soon be a featured article! Thincat (talk) 11:42, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
