Contested prod. No evidence of notability or that any reliable source uses this name. As stated, this "conjecture" is trivially equivalent to the Goldbach conjecture (assuming a and b are meant to be primes). Looks like an attempt at self-publicity.

• Delete, doesn't seem notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I stand by what I wrote when I prodded this: "This is a trivial restatement of Goldbach's conjecture for 2n, and there is no justification for giving it this new name. As an open wiki, the single source given fails WP:RS." —David Eppstein (talk) 16:46, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The article says that it is a "new conjecture", which makes me think it is original research. Ozob (talk) 11:47, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: As David Eppstein points out, it's just an obfuscated version of Goldbach's conjecture. This kind of thing is one of the reasons why we have the no OR policy.--RDBury (talk) 15:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. It seems to be saying every positive integer is half-way between two primes (which may be equal). At most this would apply to integers exceeding 1. I couldn't understand what it said until I read the "open problem garden" item. So David Epstein is right: It's just a rephrasing of Goldbach's conjecture. We already have that article.
