  • Delete: This has been created a couple of times, and speedied for context and for "made-up". As it sits now, this is somewhere between a personal theory (original research) and "nothing new" from the prime numbers article. CrowCaw 19:23, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Nothing new, nothing notable, several assertions with no proof or citation which suggests made-up and OR. Magidin (talk) 20:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete OR, and I doubt the topic meets notability for a standalone article. There is no content on this in Prime number (except maybe for Goldbach's conjecture) so until there is proper content on the topic, there is no need for a redirect either.

  • Delete. Is the author trying to disprove Euclid's theorem? Unless someone can show there are reliable sources substantiating the notability of this topic, deletion is the way to go. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:43, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is full of nonsense and I'm not sure there's anything other than nonsense here, unless you count trivial things like the fact that one can add two prime numbers together. "If an infinite prime number is summed to a finite prime number, then the infinite prime number invalidates itself." What would that mean? Or any of a number of similarly nonsensical statements? Michael Hardy (talk) 01:46, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I fail to see why adding prime numbers to each other is a notable topic. Are we going to write about adding even numbers next? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per above. Blythwood (talk) 22:26, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • On second thought, redirecting to Goldbach's conjecture would be harmless and perhaps even useful. Someone who has only vague memories of what Goldbach's conjecture says might enter "addition of prime numbers" into the search box. Michael Hardy (talk) 01:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete OR. Author states that "God could not make the added prime numbers stretch to infinity. Therefore an alien or us can never do the same" which says everything about the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:18, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
