Copyvio
A significant part of this article appears to have copied word for word from https://www.slideshare.net/MDNAWAZ3/nano-generators-by-tanveer-ahmed-ganganalli-seminar-report. PeaBrainC (talk) 14:48, 23 April 2019 (UTC)


 * It seems most likely that the source https://www.slideshare.net/MDNAWAZ3/nano-generators-by-tanveer-ahmed-ganganalli-seminar-report plagiarized Wikipedia and not the other way around as the sections of the source contain language that was added to this article in multiple revision by different authors predating the source by multiple years.

Standards and Figures-of-Merit
The section on Figures of merit, seem to be largely a direct copy of https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9376. This is an open access journal with content release under CC-By 4.0, so its not technically a copyvio. The editor for this edit User:Ziyunlong looks like they could be author of the original paper. So WP:Self aplies. --Salix alba (talk): 18:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Can this article be salvaged?
I am not sure that this article can be saved. Much has been copied from papers, is one view, lacks citations. From it's tone the prior editors clearly had an undisclosed COI. It also starts with a rewriting of Maxwells equations and polarization theory which cannot be found in standard textbooks. While an article of some type should exist, I wonder whether it is better to delete and start again. Ldm1954 (talk) 11:41, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Phase 1 cleanup
I propose deleting the front math sections. It is a proposed amendment of the famous Maxwell equations from one source. I don't see how it adds anything useful for a general reader, plus it is not established science. I will wait a week for input. Ldm1954 (talk) 11:07, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
