Talk:7

Fixed shape

The largest number of sticks (or other cylindrical objects) that can be tied into a bundle such that the shape of the bundle remains fixed.

Can someone give a reference to the correctness of this claim?

Religion part

I strongly object that Hindusim is included in mythology instead of religion. Like Judaism, Christianity and Islam, references from Hinduism should also be included under religion instead of mythology.

Retired jersey numbers

Per WP:PRESERVE, here is the list of retired #7 jersey numbers and racecars that were mentioned in the article:

• The jersey number 7 has been retired by several North American sports teams in honor of past playing greats or other key figures:
  • Major League Baseball
    • The Houston Astros, for Hall of Famer Craig Biggio.
    • The New York Yankees, for Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle.
  • National Football League:
    • The Chicago Bears, for Hall of Fame player, coach, and owner George Halas.
    • The Denver Broncos, for Hall of Famer John Elway.
    • The Detroit Lions, for Hall of Famer Dutch Clark.
    • The Los Angeles Rams, for Hall of Famer Bob Waterfield.
    • The New York Giants, for Hall of Famer Mel Hein.
  • National Basketball Association
    • The Cleveland Cavaliers, for Bingo Smith.
    • The New Orleans Hornets, for Hall of Famer Pete Maravich. He died in January 1988, before the franchise began as the Charlotte Hornets, but his number was retired based on his years in the city with the New Orleans Jazz.
    • The Phoenix Suns, for Kevin Johnson.
    • The Utah Jazz, also for Maravich. He briefly played with the team while it was in Utah, and played five seasons with the team in its previous location of New Orleans.

    • The New York Rangers, for Hall of Famer Rod Gilbert.
    • The Philadelphia Flyers, for Hall of Famer Bill Barber.
    • The Washington Capitals, for Yvon Labre.
    • The Toronto Maple Leafs have a policy of not retiring numbers unless the player honoured either died or suffered a career-ending incident while a member of the team. Other players whose numbers would otherwise be retired instead have their numbers enshrined by the team as "Honoured Numbers", which remain in circulation for future players. The number 7 is currently honoured for Hall of Famers King Clancy and Tim Horton.

Motor sports

• In Formula 1 the #7 is owned by 2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen

Math Nonsense/Garbage Removal

For example:

• n = 7 is the first natural number for which the next statement does not hold: "Two nilpotent endomorphisms from Cⁿ with the same minimal polynomial and the same rank are similar."

Power~enwiki (talk) 18:29, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

It seems to make sense to me. What is it that you find nonsensical about the statement? Sławomir Biały (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

The fact that it is a random math theorem that *doesn't* apply to the number 7. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:51, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Presumably actually making sense is at least one requirement of being a "math theorem" in the first place. So I don't see how this in any way clarifies the source of your inability to make sense of the theorem. Sławomir Biały (talk) 22:41, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Template:Superstitions ??

The template seems to have a very low bar for inclusion. I'm considering removing it from this page. Any comments? Power~enwiki (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Support. Perhaps remove the link to 7 from the template too, as there's not much on this page about superstitions (as opposed to religion or mythology). Certes (talk) 09:54, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
