Another useless User:Enormousdude creation, presumable meant to be similar to Mathematically entangled. An article so pointless and unloved (even by its creator) that it was vandalized for three weeks without anyone noticing. Nonsuch 19:35, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten the article. Please have another look. LambiamTalk 12:01, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - According to Google, "Conjugate quantities" is really a term, but this article is completely wrong about what the term means. Using the definition in the article, the any number would be a Conjugate quantity under the unary negation operator. In other words, if you take the number 10, negate it and you get -10, negate it again and you get 10 back. But according to Google, the term "conjugate quantities" means (if I am reading technobabble correctly) two related quantities. In other words, in the field of quantum mechanics, time and energy are directly proportional and so they are "conjugate quantites". An article on the correct meaning of "conjugate quantites" might be interesting, but this article is not. BigDT 19:58, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - The article has been rewritten so it is now factually correct. It was rather nonsensical, but now is about something real. Thus, I am changing from delete to keep. BigDT 12:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per BigDT Nonsuch 00:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep in present form but expand (you can help). --LambiamTalk 10:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the current entry which is patently wrong does not appear to be correct, at least from anything I've ever learned, but no prejudice against recreation of a proper article. Stifle (talk) 14:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
