Galilean non-invariance of classical electromagnetism

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

As noted by, the article is a violation WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. The subject is based on an obscure references like and fringe references like. The topic has some historical relevance but the content of the article as of now is not salvageable and does not seem adequate for a merge. ReyHahn (talk) 13:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete This is just showing the steps of a proof but doesn't actually explain anything in an encyclopedic format. Reywas92Talk 14:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think the subject is notable enough for a standalone article. In any case, the poor sourcing the article currently has does not demonstrate notability. The fact that classical electromagnetism is not invariant under Galilean transformations is relevant, but should be noted in context, for example as a remark in Classical electromagnetism and special relativity or History of special relativity. As for a merge, there's no content worth merging. Tercer (talk) 14:36, 1 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete The topic is not sufficiently noteworthy or sufficiently separate from other topics to warrant a stand-alone page, and the material is not good enough to preserve via merging, nor is the title a likely search query that would make a redirect worthwhile.

 * Delete – The topic is nothing but a badly worked WP:TEXTBOOK exercise to show that Galilean transforms are incompatible with Maxwell's equations. We don't generally include counterfactuals in WP.  Also unsuitable as a redirect as per XOR'easter.  I also fully endorse Tercer's perspective.  —Quondum 19:15, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * note for closer: please delete the redirect Non invariance of maxwell's equation under Galilean transformation too. —Quondum 22:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, and this subject is better covered by articles on the history of special relativity. Partofthemachine (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:14, 3 December 2022 (UTC).
