Discrete Field Model

This is a work of original research and novel narrative, a new theory of the universe, not verifiable in any reputable source. Lumpy27 (talk) 23:58, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete This article is pure original research and novel narrative. The "Discrete Field Model" is a original theory of the universe that is totally unverifiable in any reputable scientific literature. It does not meet the Wikipedia rules for inclusion.Lumpy27 (talk) 21:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article doesn't actually bother defining "discrete field model". Instead, it rambles on about topics the author considers related, citing references that in the cases I checked weren't really related to the text they were cited from. I'm actually wondering if this is a Sokal-style hoax, though for the time being I'll assume it was written with honest intentions. --Christopher Thomas (talk) 02:42, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This theory seems to be the work of one "Peter Jackson" who has submitted a number of papers on the subject to the vixra archive. This implies a few things 1)this Peter Jackson is not affiliated to any scientific institution 2) he has not been able to get any respectable scientist to endorse his work. Moreover none of the papers have been publisher in a scientific journal, nor have they gathered any scientific attention. As such the article fails to meet WP:N and should be deleted.

Strong Retain - Firstly, I object to suggestions that I am a man. From some of the comments here - I couldn't bear to loose my intuition. Please refer to my post in the discussion page. It is pure opinion that the viXra web archive is not reputable. There are some iffy papers on almost all sites - and even in Nature Physics, but the DFM papers are not among them. Yes, it moves physics ahead - but nothing in the page is novel, or indeed just 'theory'. I wouldn't have gone to all the effort of writing the page if I didn't believe it was needed and important. Physics is nor static, and wiki would be worthless if IT was.

There is no harm in this paper, indeed many have never seen the important Einstein quotes it contains, which alone makes it important. The DFM exists and must be considered. It would be the very worst form of opinionated censorship to remove it. I won't repeat the points in my discussion entries so please read and consider them carefully.
