Generalized proper time

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Newly created page based solely on unpublished pre-prints by David J. Jackson. . As such, it badly fails notability. Another problem is that these pre-prints are all in the "gen-ph" section of the arXiv, reserved for crackpots. Tercer (talk) 08:04, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:16, 18 March 2021 (UTC).
 * Delete Physics ideas belong on Wikipedia only after they have become celebrated for being good or infamous for being bad. Unpublished preprints on gen-ph are neither. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:49, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete:The description "reserved for crackpots" demeans everyone, including the person who wrote it. The fact that Dr Jackson, who has done two successful postdocs in particle physics, has ended up posting manifestly serious and well written preprints in a venue described by wikipedia editors as "reserved for crackpots" says at least as much about the state of the theoretical physics community as it does about the validity of the work. The article does currently fail the standard criteria for notability. What motivated posting it is that so few of the links in the other theories of quantum gravity section actually describe theories of quantum gravity. The fact that one of these preprints does that makes it notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ynof (talk • contribs) 11:59, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
