Declined PROD (not originally by me). But I agree that this isn't a sufficiently interesting number to have an article for. The guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Notability (numbers)#Irrational numbers would seem not to favor this. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 20:58, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. See Misplaced Pages:Notability (numbers)#Notability of specific individual numbers. This number has no special significance in mathematics, and no special properties distinct from other composite square roots. Its only cultural significance is (if one believes what is written in this article) as a bad and unsourced approximation to π, much worse than some of the ancient approximations described in Approximations of π and not even mentioned among the many many approximations described in that article. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:19, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I have heard the bit about it being an ancient approximation to π, and as far as π lore goes it can probably be sourced, but that's not enough to build an article upon. XOR'easter (talk) 00:03, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- This content would not be much use in writing about where and by whom the hemibel is used. Uncle G (talk) 00:26, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. I've also read about its use in approximating π, but as it's currently unsourced, there is no need for a merger. This one property alone doesn't seem enough for an article; I'm also not aware of any major formulas where this number appears. ComplexRational (talk) 02:00, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - we do not need to have articles on square roots of individual numbers. Vorbee (talk) 06:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Per above, unless this could be merged with something related. Grapefruit17 (talk) 15:27, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
