Deletion of 43,112,609 (number)

Comment: WP:NUMBER is a well established subject-specific notability guideline and the topic of this article meets that guideline. I am not persuaded by comments here that the guideline has not been met or that  applies

Comment: Considering all the points that {{u|SpinningSpark}} stated and the historical as well as cultural significance that this number has based on the fact that it is ONE of the only 51 such numbers, it should be kept without any doubt. Wikipedians who are a part of Wikipedia: Wikiproject Mathematics|Wikiproject Mathematics should be called here because they won't view it as "just a number", unlike the rest here. If 800 (number)|800 can have its own article regardless of the fact that it has no cultural significance whatsoever, then this should obviously have its own as well. Clearly passes  as well. Regards

Comment: whatever's needed to Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. The sources in question only cover the number in context of the prime search, thus the number should be covered proportionately within the prime search's article. There isn't enough material to source a full article on the number itself. I doubt the redirect's helpfulness, but all in all, this is a fine |alternative to deletion.

Comment: or '''Merge''' to Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search/ alternate Mersenne prime: This is a number that would be mainly of interest to number theorists making stand alone inclusion part of a scientific journal of which |Wikipedia is not. There is validity that 2^43,112,609-1 would be more correct

Comment: No relist needed – close this now as a textbook case of '''no consensus'''.  Strong points made on both sides (slight bias to weak keep), but no clear winner.  Ultimately, we are , and this number, after this epic AfD, seems to have won the right to fight for another day.  No harm will come to WP as a result
