Nexus prime (number)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Possibly not notable (the existence of an OEIS entry is necessary for inclusion, not sufficient.) Almost certainly not notable under that name, as MathWorld seems to be the only reliable source using that name. MathWorld only uses nexus numbers, not nexus primes, making the name original research. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:29, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom: no evidence that this is a real thing; OEIS and Mathworld are both extremely weak indicators of notability, especially for names, and Mathworld doesn't even use this name. I was not able to find additional sources. --JBL (talk) 15:56, 1 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect/merge to prime number, i'm not wholly convinced the concept is notable but anyway I think the article is discussing prime numbers. Szzuk (talk) 17:41, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * As one of the main editors behind the recent push to making prime number a Good Article, I strongly object to merging this content there. The main prime number article is not and should not be a dumping ground for special classes of prime numbers too non-notable for their own articles. And it makes no sense to redirect without a merge, because this concept is not mentioned there already and a reader who tried to use the redirect to find out about this class of numbers would not find what they were looking for. We should either keep or delete (I haven't decided which I prefer yet), not merge or redirect. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:21, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete none of the sources even use the phrase "nexus prime". Definitely should not be merged to prime number per Eppstein. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 01:30, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete There's just no indication that substantial thought has gone into this particular type of figurate number. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 22:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
