Fails WP:GNG and seems to be mostly WP:OR. While there is an external link to MathWorld, the article on MathWorld is very short, and other longer articles on MathWorld (like Factorial sums) do not have corresponding articles on Wikipedia. The only references in this article are to OEIS integer sequences, and just as with MathWorld, there are other integer sequences on OEIS who do not have corresponding articles on Wikipedia. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the article is unreferenced and seemes to be original research. For the notability and original research issues, this article ought to be deleted.

• Keep. Along with the book reference already in the article, there are two journal publications JSTOR 3620841 and JSTOR 3620842 (short pieces in a problem section, but nevertheless journal publications) that provide nontrivial detail about the subject. Note that this article was nominated for deletion several minutes after I replied to the nominator's query about the sequence on WT:WPM providing these references and requesting that the nominator perform WP:BEFORE before making a nomination; despite that, the nomination pretends that the references in the article itself are the only ones available. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I had closed out of the window of the talk page of Wikiproject Mathematics and so did not see your reply to my post until now. If only I could figure how to withdraw the proposal. Prova-nome (talk) 05:07, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
