[edit] Hitchhikers guide repeat?

I don't think this is any more notable than the hitchhikers guide page was. — Defender1031*Talk 13:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I can understand that sentiment. But I kinda feel about this the way you did about Pi. 42 occurs at least 3 times (maybe more, I didn't check), so it stands to reason that they purposely picked it in these instances (whether in reverence to HHG or not). cf also 1982 & 1974. -128.103.10.17 14:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Three instances with no connection is a lot more shaky than the pi gag, which is clearly intentional. — Defender1031*Talk 14:37, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
But 3 appears at least 42 times (maybe less, there's no need to check), so does that mean we need articles on the number three, as well as every other number that's ever appeared on Homestar Runner? Pi gets an article because it's a very special number. 42, however, is no more special than 69 (the number that Ted "Theodore" Logan was thinking of). To be honest, this page is almost identical to the Hitchhikers page, albeit from a different point of view, and should really be deleted as well. – The Chort 17:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I agree. The references here have nothing tying them together save what may or not be a randomly-chosen number. It's not unlike Purple, if you ask me. --DorianGray 20:41, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I really don't think this page is worth keeping. 42 is a number as 41 and 40 are. If we really want to note every, SINGLE NUMBER that pops up in H*R, then we need to shut down the wiki, move to Indonesia and learn Can-Can dancing. I vote delete.

Here's what i see happening if this page is kept. More and more pages about numbers crop up, eventually we end up merging them into a Numbers page that lists every time a number was used and what number it was. And strong sad will be more whiny. And the cinder block will break up with the stop sign. No thanks. — Defender1031*Talk 16:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
