None of the sources contain more than passing mentions of the subject, with none focusing in-depth coverage on the number. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Possibly meets WP:NNUMBER#Integers. There seem to be at least 3 unrelated interesting mathematical properties listed on the page. (307 is the number of one-sided octiamonds, 307 is the third non-palindromic number to have a palindromic square, 307 is a central polygonal number). If not sufficient, most of that should be merged into 300 (number)]. —siroχo 20:05, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Agree on this one. Seems to fit the three unrelated properties point. ThatOneArizonan (talk) 23:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  No, 307 is not a central polygonal number. 301 is a central polygonal number, because ${\displaystyle (24^{2}+24+2)/2=301}$. 307 is a centered 2-gonal number, being ${\displaystyle 18^{2}-18+1}$, but since it's so far down the list, I doubt it's been used as an example of such a number.

• Keep, interesting enough number. Hyperbolick (talk) 00:28, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, seems to be interesting enough to have its own article per WP:NNUMBER#Integers. V.B.Speranza (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There are currently 3 properties cited to OEIS sequences that are designated "nice". It's further down the list in each case than I would generally like, but one of those lists is finite. We could also mention A006300, where 307 appears early on, but there doesn't seem to be an article to wiki-link for that. XOR'easter (talk) 00:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It's surprising how little content we seem to have on the subject: a few articles touch on the relevant topological/graph theoretic concept (Graph embedding, Toroidal graph, Combinatorial map, Rotation system) but apparently there's nothing substantial on enumerative aspects (Hurwitz number is a redirect to ELSV formula, nothing about the Harer-Zagier formula that I can find, etc.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by JayBeeEll (talk • contribs)
