The article was originally at the title Infinite arithmetic series; XOR'easter removed the prod and retitled the article. The content still matches the old title. About the existing content, I repeat my prod comment: "Appears to be a made-up phrase to discuss two examples; none of the references include the word "arithmetic," let alone "infinite arithmetic series." It seems doubtful that true sources exist. This non-important special case of zeta regularization should be discussed (if at all) in the more general article as an example." About the new title, it is a thing that is not made up and indeed sources exist for it. However, there should not be an article with this title, instead it should be a redirect to arithmetic progression and any relevant content can be covered there in the correct context.

  • Comment Redirecting to arithmetic progression (and merging whatever is not redundant) would be fine by me. There may be more worth commenting on under the search term "infinite arithmetic progression" (see [1]), but even so, having a whole article instead of a section in another feels like the wrong way to go.
