many authors of wiki are poor in explaining, where their definition is so aloof that only another math graduate understands them. The case of noncototient is an example where a high school or undergraduate would not understand what cototient means because the author is so opaque in explaining. If the

Therefore, it's up to us to review that statement. That means reading the papers of "Browkin and
Schinzel (1995)", "Flammenkamp and Luca" and seeing if we can find anything about that. If you like, you can remove that statement and put something like "Removed density statement pending review (see

A paper of Banks and Luca at Arxiv math.NT/0409231 shows that the number of noncototients less than X is bounded below by (1/2 + o(1))X/log X . The natural question is thus to ask whether the set of noncototients has positive lower density in the asymptotic sense: that is, whether there is a

Primefan's advise and remove the statement.
