So this page is called "51", but as it stands, it has one instance of 51, one instance of -51, which isn't quite the same thing. and one instance of -1, which is completely not the same thing. There appears to be nothing special about 51. Delete hard and fast. — Defender1031*Talk 19:00, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Although I added an appearence, I don't really see the point of this page. At the very least, we should remove the 1 appearence. That's completly unrelated. We could change it to +/- 51 and keep the three instances. Would three be enough to keep it? Philip8o 19:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Removing the -1 reference, having only three references to the number is not notable. It is slightly interesting that all of references are for points/score, but that's not enough to hold a page. Elcool (talk)(contribs) 06:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
