Well as long as almost all terms are positive, and an explicative
remark is added, one might consider it as tolerable,
as in your seqs
A103802 A103803 A103804 A103805 A103806 A103807

but I must admit that I don't see well the motivation for the
particular case of chosen offsets (9, 15, 21, 27, 33, and the
combination "+/- 27 and +/- 33") in these sequences
(e.g. A103807 Primes p such that p, 2p+/-27 and 2p+/-33 are all primes.)

maybe adding a link to other similar existing sequences could explain
the motivation ?


As to

%N A050267 Primes of the form 47*n^2-1701*n+10181.

and similar sequences, the terms are not correct since according to
the definition, this is a list of numbers with some property, and they
must be listed in increasing size.

In the concrete case at hand, the sequence should read :

A050267 =
-5209, -5171, -5153, -5039, -5003, -4813, -4759, -4493, -4421, -4079,
-3989, -3571, -3463, -2969, -2843, -2273, -2129, -1483, -1321, -599,
-419, 379, 577, 1451, 1667, 2617, 2851, 3877, 4129, 5231, 5501, 6679,
6967, 8221, 8527, ...

then decide whether / why "n" should take only nonnegative values.
