This raises the question of what a "noteworthy" number is.

There's actually a case to be made for the claim that any number which is written on Saibian's closed list of indexed numbers is "noteworthy". Saibian himself is a very noteworthy googolist, and his list is - by far - the most noteworthy list of its kind.

Then again, that list indexes over 15,000 numbers. It is doubtful whether a random item on a noteworthy 15000-item list deserves an mainspace article.

Then again, maybe does. A minor Star Trek character may well deserve its own article on a sci fi wiki, and there are probably 15000 of those too.

So in Saibian's case - at least - it can go either way.

Most of the other fan-made notations, though, obviously shouldn't get this kind of treatment. It's pretty clear that if I build a website with a list of 15000 numbers in it, nobody should even consider putting them on the mainspace (at least not just because they appear on my list).

(and if you wonder why I'm not mentioning Bowers here: that's because his lists of numbers are much shorter, making it a non-issue in his case)
