No reliable sources, not notable. Rememberway (talk) 16:42, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete—Concur. This term appears to be local to a special interest community. I could find no reliable secondary sources to indicate a broader notability. RJH (talk) 17:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. A term or concept having currency only within a specialized community is not necessarily grounds for deletion. However, in this case, the unit definition is almost archetypal as a neologism. It sees use by the Spaceward Foundation and the International Space Elevator Consortium. But that's not really much to go on; we don't even have articles for either of those groups (Spaceward, we probably could) at the moment! Bottom line, though, I'd like to see a newly defined metric unit employed in a peer-reviewed journal publication someplace before I'd consider it ripe for inclusion.

• Delete or merge to Space elevator. An informal unit, known only in the "space elevator community." Come back when it is an SI unit, or when it is a more notable neologism. Edison (talk) 22:28, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• move to wiktionary this is a dictionary definition in paragraph form with an etymology attached. Wiktionary even handles etymologies. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:07, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it meets their criteria for inclusion either.Rememberway (talk) 13:46, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
