[edit] 11th dimension

11th dimension (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

'11th dimension' has no importance other then M-theory being 11-dimensional. Any ot this should go in M-theory although what is written there currently is mostly gibberish. TimothyRias (talk) 13:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to M-theory, which at least has some sources. There's no need for an extra article since we have nothing to say about this dimension beyond the postulation of its existence and its similarity to other presumed "rolled-up" dimensions. Needless to say, I would change my opinion if recent peer-reviewed publications expanded the available material. Sheffield Steel^talk_stalk 17:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect per Sheffield's comments. --Starionwolf (talk) 02:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, don't redirect. There are lots of mathematical spaces with 11 dimensions. M-theory (if it even exists) is just one of them. But there's not a lot specific to 11 dimensions to be worth a separate article on, per WP:NUMBER. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect while 11 dimensions may not be of much interest mathematically it does seem to have significance in physics having spent a long time as a possible candidate for space time theories. --Salix alba (talk) 08:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Even as a non-expert I can see that there's nothing salvageable here. How can anything "rotate at the speed of light"? Phil Bridger (talk) 01:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Turn into a disambiguation page with links to Supergravity, String theory, Superstring theory, Introduction to M-theory and M-theory. This stub actually has links to all of those already except Supergravity. --Pixelface (talk) 03:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Redirects should be for probable search terms... is this really one? Disambiguations need maintenance, which it probably won't get, and again with the question of relevance, but for lack of a better argument Pixelface's suggestion is better. - Ironic goat (talk) 08:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• Disambig as per Pixelface's suggestion. It should not be a redirect because the term is not specific to physics alone. And a disambig page could be merged/redirected into a more general "Dimensions" disambig page in the future. If this isn't considered a good idea, the page should just be deleted. — Loadmaster (talk) 23:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• Disambig per User:Pixelface. Not really a useful topic on its own, but used in varying ways across a number of fields. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC).
