I can't find any reference to this number being real. It should be deleted because it is not a real number. StringTheory11 06:05, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. If this was deleted, the fundamental theorem of algebra, and hence the whole of mathematics, would fall. Bring out the Bacardi, Twilight Sparkle up in the party! FreywaParcly Taxel
