Farhadian's conjecture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be a notable mathematical concept; the article is a possible COI article as the article creator appears to be the person who coined the concept. It appears it may have been mentioned in one journal (according to a reference in the article), but a search for sources resulted in just three Google hits, all of which appear to also be by Farhadian. Previous CSD A11 was removed by an IP address, so I'm taking this to AFD in order for the article to get a wider hearing. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:59, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination. Self promotion of non-notable conjecture, with no significant coverage online from WP:RS, just a mention on a retired science teacher's math blog "primepuzzles.net", and a paper submitted by the article creator to a journal I can find no mention of online, "The First Conference on Mathematics and Statistics, Shiraz, Iran", vol 1 published three months ago. The rest of the references cited are about other, notable conjectures, and make no mention of this conjecture, so the claim of "We know that... thus, the Farhadian's conjecture is stronger than Cramér's and Granville's conjectures" is WP:Synthesis at best.
 * Once I tagged it for COI, article creator's edits cease, and an obvious sock IP resumes, including removal of the A11 speedy tag placed by the nominator and repeated removal of the AFD template and maintenance template. Uncle Roy (talk) 12:27, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Honestly, I understand nothing about this subject but the total lack of coverage in any academic sources (or anywhere else for that matter) leads me to believe, just as the nominator, that this is probably OR and obvious COI, especially when combined with the incessant AfD tag removal.

 * Delete. WP:TOOSOON, in a non-reliable source, and larded with false sources that are published prior to the statement of the conjecture and just give general properties of prime numbers. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:46, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails V given the paucity of secondary sources. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:20, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt: Self promotion of non-notable conjecture, Author's behavior indicates a high chance of recreation. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:31, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per above. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   20:35, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
