Mathematical constant Psi[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article claiming discovery of a new mathematical constant without citing reliable and/or academic sources, failing WP:V. PROD where I was initially concerned this was a WP:HOAX was removed and followed with a message to my talk page. The author seems sincere in their claim that it isn't a hoax and I am extending them the benefit of the doubt in that regard. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 16:56, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No published source, WP:OR dated in the article from April 2018. Even if the content would deserve a publication (which is not the case), it should be removed per WP:Crystal. D.Lazard (talk) 17:43, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: standard case of pure OR, someone writing an article on something they spent time thinking about. Also, we already have Sophomore's_dream. --JBL (talk) 17:46, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete even though I kind of like the phrase "the most undiscovered numbers". XOR'easter (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@XOR'easter: yeah I thought that was really charming, too. --JBL (talk) 20:36, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete WP:A11, or Delete as clear original research without cited sources. SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 20:09, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The claim of novelty is pretty clearly false, especially since this information is mostly duplicated at Sophomore's dream. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:28, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, and I see JBL already pointed out the other article! –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:29, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above; clearly WP:OR and a duplicate of Sophomore's dream. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:44, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
delete, well known but not under this name. Quickly scanning some references of sophomore's dream gave no mention of the name Psi, so there is not even a case for a redirect. —Kusma (t·c) 20:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
