Does not pass WP:NNUM: Per discussion on the article's talk with User:Certes, there are not "at least three unrelated interesting mathematical properties of this integer": there are plenty of notable properties that it has, like being an even number or being a composite number, but because those properties hold for such a large proportion of the integers, it is not interesting that 198 has those properties, and the documentation that 198 has those properties (in passing, among many other numbers with those properties) does not constitute the in-depth coverage required by WP:GNG. I searched for but failed to find Wikipedia-notable properties, or properties labeled as "nice" in OEIS, for which it is among the first five or so examples. If judged non-notable, this would appear to be the smallest non-notable natural number but per WP:SELF that is also not a reason for notability. My earlier PROD was removed by User:Crouch, Swale but without any attempt to provide better content for the article or to justify notability (the removal edit summary cited WP:OTHERLANGS but explicitly noted that was not a justification for notability). So it seems that Crouch, Swale has dragged us into another week of pointless bureaucracy to get rid of a pointless article. — David Eppstein ( talk) 19:47, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
