[edit] Consider removing the discussion and reference to false proof of twin primes

Is it necessary to preserve for all posterity Arenstorf's erroneous proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture? Is there some reason that he is being singled out here, among many other mathematicians that have made (and later withdrawn) similar claims?

In fact it seems to me that he may not meet the standard for inclusion in wikipedia, and perhaps the article should be deleted. What do others think? Plclark 01:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)Plclark
