RFD discussion: June–August 2018[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

~~proton mass~~

Does the fact that they have specific values mean we should keep them? DTLHS (talk) 19:02, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps--though at the moment, the entries don't provide that information. If we were to include these, would that put us at risk for a slippery slope with descriptive terms with specific numerical values, e.g. boiling point of water, freezing point of water, ice density etc? --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 19:09, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are any of these used as units? Would you say "twenty electron masses" or "two ice densities"? DTLHS (talk) 19:13, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but uncommonly. It wouldn't be a reason for keeping, since anything can be used that way, and the first two have an actual unit derived from them (atomic mass unit/dalton). —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 21:16, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per OP. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 21:16, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per proponent, and that it refers to a specific value seems lexically irrelevant. Per utramque cavernam 15:26, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there are so many properties of named things here eg carbon atomic weight, nitrogen-16 half life but they are all described by the words and are not required at all. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:19, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
