Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carol number
Fails . Non-refereed websites, or math hobbiest websites no more authoritative than Wikipedia itself are not sufficient sourcing. "Other stuff exists" and "I like it" are not convincing arguments for neologism articles about types of numbers. What is needed is significant or substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. The fact that someone feels "Carol (name redacted) is my best female friend in the whole wide world." and wants to name something after her is as irrelevant to the purposes of Wikipedia as would be someone paying a "http://www.space.com/spacewatch/mystery_monday_030915.html star registry" to name a star after his Aunt Gertrude, and then someone putting as article about the star "Aunt Gertrude" in Wikipedia. The star registry companies are missing a bet: they could just make up some formula like this with some variation which selects some of the prime numbers then sell a beautiful parchment printout of the "Aunt Gertrude numbers," if the formula generates any, and wait for people to create a Wikipedia article about them
