I propose this article be deleted (and redirected to Introduction to quantum mechanics to avoid breaking incoming links) for many, many reasons: First, it is a WP:FORK of Introduction to quantum mechanics by GeorgeLouis (talk · contribs). For a long while, the entire article was completely written by this user, and he has reverted all non-trivial changes by others (violating WP:OWN). Several editors have suggested that this page be merged with Introduction to quantum mechanics on the talk page. One of the main problems is that this page doesn't even present an introduction to quantum mechanics in any way. It's more like a history lesson. There are no "concepts" of quantum mechanics on this page. The article also has several technical inaccuracies. The Introduction to quantum mechanics is a far better article, which actually explains quantum mechanics. Finally, do read the talk page for opinions of other editors on this page.

- That's a very pertinent question, and I'd also like to know the answer.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 21:30, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- I guess that would just cause an edit war with the creator of the article, who is against a redirect/merge. --Robin (talk) 21:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
