Rassias'_conjecture

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

This conjecture is simply a special case of the well known Dickson's conjecture. It does not appear to be in any way a notable conjecture with a tradition of study in its own right. The passing reference to it in the preface of a book by M. Th. Rassias seems to form part of a personal-interest story, concerning someone who does not appear to be sufficiently notable for such a story to in itself justify inclusion in wikipedia! There also seems to be a history of self-promotion related to this mathematician. Mathchecker (talk) 15:52, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability from sources outside academic works not shown. If kept should be moved to comply with MOS:POSS. Reywas92^Talk 17:51, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The available sources do not discuss the conjecture in depth [1]. One of them actually lists it under "Congetture di Dickson e Rassias" [2], which doesn't give much support to the idea that the special case deserves its own article. The part about Cunningham chains is close enough to [3] to count as a copyright violation. XOR'easter (talk) 18:10, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
