It is possible that this list could be expanded to be useful, but right now it is simply an arbitrary list of non-primes and is no more interesting than a list of arbitrarily-chosen numbers would be. If the author would add a list of notable non-primes, with the reasons that the chosen numbers are notable, it

of the prime numbers is bounded by the cardinality of the integers (aleph nought), but the cardinality of non-prime numbers is greater than aleph nought, as all real numbers in the interval (0,1) are numbers that are not prime. Thus, prime numbers and non-prime numbers have an infinite number, but
139:
If primes are notable, even though there are an infinite number of them, by definition non-primes must be equally notable for not being primes. If a list that potentially contains an infinite number of numbers can be notable, a list that contains number not in the first list is also notable.
154:
You have a curious definition of 'by definition'. Primes are not notable because they're infinite, they're notable because they have a notable quality. Infinity is a side argument. Saying non-Primes are notable because they're not-this-notable-thing would mean I'm notable as a non-John

A list of non primes can also be ordered by type, and particular non-primes also have particular properties. This list is not an attempt to list all non-primes or random non-primes. Given the chance to grow it will prove just as useful and encyclopedic as the

Many non-primes are notable for not being primes: for example, 4 is notable for being the lowest interger greater than one that isn't a prime. I could go on, but this sort of useful information belongs in this article, not here.

absolutely pointless. Anyone that cares about primality of a number relevant to a practical situation would know enough to look in a reasonably large list of primes to see if the number is NOT there...

I find that it is a sensible organized list of particular primes with particular properties, not an attempt to list all primes or randome primes.

Not really. Prime numbers have a certain notable property. Non-primes have the reverse of that, a non-notable property. So...we won't note them.--
