Potential mass interpretation

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod. Of the two sources for the article, one is a self-published source (Aventine Press). The other, although published in a peer reviewed journal, has received zero citations according to google scholar. The author of the article removed the prod and replied that it is deserving of coverage on Wikipedia as a minority interpretation of quantum mechanics. Obviously, this is a minority of one. There are no google scholar or google books hits for the term "Potential mass interpretation". The only google hits are Wikipedia mirrors. The subject of the article seems to be insufficiently notable, as would be evidenced by coverage in reliable third-party sources that are independent of the subject and its sole author.

 * Delete per WP:RS, seems a bit like original research. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 16:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The originator of this interpretion does not appear to have any academic affiliation, and the journal in which it is published seems to specialise in publishing speculative papers. This may turn out to be the equivalent of work by an employee of the Swiss Patent Office published in 1905, or may turn out to be a very minor footnote in the history of fringe ideas in physics, but until we have reliable sources saying one or the other we can't have an article about it.
