Unencyclopedic, unlikely search term. Prod was declined. rʨanaɢ (talk) 16:58, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable per WP:NUMBER. Nothing mentioned here conveys "obvious cultural significance". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- What would we say about it on Wiktionary? Nothing on this page is a "definition" of the number, it's more like trivia. (For instance, wikt:7 doesn't say "the number of days in a week".) rʨanaɢ (talk) 17:20, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think anyone would search 5845 to find it was the number of verses in the Hebrew Bible, rather they would find that fact out at the Hebrew Bible page. I can't see many people searching for the number 5845, to be perfectly honest. WackyWace ^{talk to me, people} 17:42, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - though I can prove by contradiction that all numbers are notable, WP:NUMBER proves we don't need infinitely many number articles.--137.122.49.102 (talk) 18:04, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- ...Said the IP address. But seriously, delete per WP:NUMBER, not to mention it's a disambiguation page for claims, not actual articles. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:47, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteUnencyclopedic and Fails WP:NUMBER - we don't really need a list of 2 articles and who would search for 5845? I can't really add much to this discussion as I think its been summed up allreay. --Wintonian (talk) 19:23, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NUMBER. Gobonobo ^T ^C 21:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Easy merge to 5000 (number)#Selected numbers in the range 5001-5999. People might be surprised to learn that Category:Integers doesn't have that many articles in it-- I think that a few years back, someone set out to write articles about every number and they got to 216 (number) and said, "You know, I think that this could go on endlessly" or "Screw 217!!". Thus, numbers tend to be described within a range, so that 300 (number) is a repository for numbers in the "300s". Mandsford 01:20, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is that there's nothing verifiable to merge here. For example, this article claims without a citation that there are 5,845 verses in the Hebrew Bible. However, Chapters and verses of the Bible says that there are 23,145 verses in the Old Testament. Do the differences between the Old Testament as seen by Christians and the Hebrew Bible as seen by Jews cause the number of verses to vary by a factor of almost 4 to 1? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed that (even though I think the article should be deleted). It's actually said to be the number of verses in the Torah, or Pentateuch - the first five books of the Old Testament, not the entire Old Testament. --MelanieN (talk) 01:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as utterly trivial and unlikely ever to be searched for. OK to merge as per Mandsford. --MelanieN (talk) 00:56, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
