[edit] Casimir goes to Casimir

Casimir goes to Casimir (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

AfD part-created by inexperienced user. Reason given: Any element in U(\mathfrak{g}) commutes with f by definition. What makes the Casimir operator special? SL(2,R) 01:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC). Procedural nomination - no opinion being expressed by me. ➔ REDVEЯS isn't wearing pants 13:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Redirect and merge to Casimir invariant provided that the term 'Casimir goes to Casimir' is actualy used. Otherwise delete. Martijn Hoekstra 14:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Flag for needing expert attention and provisionally keep, weakly, for now. I suspect that merging this might be the best choice, and all Google found on the phrase[1] seemed to be Wikipedia mirrors. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect and merge per Redvers Martijn Hoekstra. JJL 18:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
    Not me. Martijn Hoekstra, I think. ➔ REDVEЯS isn't wearing pants 19:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Shirley you're not suggesting that I made an error? JJL 20:03, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I am, and don't call me Shirley. ➔ REDVEЯS isn't wearing pants 20:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC) :o)
  • delete Google hits give no occurrence of the use of this term outside mirrors, indicating that this might not be a well used term. Casimir invariant is the obvious target. I'm not convinced that it justifies a redirect. --Salix alba (talk) 08:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Provisional keep per Smerdis; we need more expert eyes. CRGreathouse (t | c) 13:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect/Merge as suggested above, if necessary. If the term is as un-used as some suggest (I haven't the time to look into it) redirect may not be needed. --Cheeser1 19:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Idiosyncratic, nothing to merge since the content is already covered in Casimir invariant. Arcfrk 02:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete without prejudice to later recreation as a redirect page. The lack of references and Google hits (also on Google scholar and Google books) shows that this is not even a plausible search term. If someone, however, later finds citable evidence of use, it is easy enough to add the term to the Casimir invariant article and create a redirect; little is lost by a deletion now.  --Lambiam 07:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
