Fails WP:GNG and seems to be entirely WP:OR. The article was self-published by MagistraMundi in 2014, and the only significant edits other than by MagistraMundi are by the IP address 173.230.18.196 in the last few weeks. The external link at the bottom of the page is to MagistraMundi's personal blog (which can be verified by taking a look at the past history of the page). The only reference in the article (there are two, but they link to the same web page) are to an OEIS integer sequence, and there are hundreds of thousands of other OEIS integer sequences, many of which do not have Wikipedia articles, making this topic not really notable enough to be on Wikipedia.

Comment - There is nothing more beautiful than mathematics and nothing more mathematical than beauty. What are the notability guidelines for mathematical concepts? Michepman (talk) 02:52, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As far as I can find, this appears to be OR about a wholly non-notable concept. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 04:01, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. My searches in Google Scholar came up blank. I agree that this looks like OR. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:23, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In addition to the points made above, the OEIS calls the two cited sequences "easy" and does not refer to either as "nice" [1][2]. Nor do those pages have the body of comments and references typical for a topic that has generated some excitement. XOR'easter (talk) 15:50, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - totally WP:OR and not even notable. Bearian (talk) 13:47, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
