"A lighton is a hypothetical subatomic particle that moves faster than light." Only fractionally better than original research. Almost superflous to point out that the author of the article is the creator of this theory. Has been described in the International Journal of Sciences which does not yet have an article here - it did only start in August. But given that, its claim to be "one of the world's most cited scientific journals" is somewhat questionable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• MergeDelete or Redirect (is what I meant) to Tachyon. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]
• Redirect to Tachyon. (there is nothing to merge) TR 08:25, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for pointing out the tachyon. I would now say delete as vandalism - the text is cribbed from the tachyon article and there is no evidence that anyone uses the term lighton. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:30, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and oppose redirect. I see no evidence that the term "lighton" is actually used as a synonym for tachyon, rather than just completely made up. -- Whpq (talk) 16:29, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. It simply does not meet notability guidelines. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:02, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete term completely made up. --Meno25 (talk) 06:54, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. COI article used as a soapbox. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 12:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
