Talking about question which I have seen above: should we dedicated a page for the number Blirx=32818471? Generally speaking: can we consider some number as sufficiently significant to have own article in the wiki?

We shouldn’t simply hope that every such case will be somehow decided by some "trusted members"; to answer this question we need general criterions.

For example, the follows: we can put a number in the mainspace if:

the number has unique mathematical properties

or

the number has some historical origin, was mentioned in literature

or

to define the number its author created new naming system and/or new notation for large numbers.

Since Blirx=32818471 is an usual number with an arbitrary name, written using well-known positional notation, consequently, this number can’t be put in the mainspace.

Also, if some number X is just a number in a long sequence of numbers defined by one author Y using the same naming system and the same notation, then the number X shouldn’t has own page, but it will be put on the page "The numbers by Y" as a line in the list of all numbers of such kind.

For example, 2.5 years ago I started so-called "regiment project", which had the aim to replace thousands of pages, dedicated to Saibian’s numbers, with several tens of pages, each of which described whole regiment of Saibian’s numbers.
