Planck particle

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I can find no evidence this term is in widespread serious use. The article's sole reference does not use the term. Top hits on Google are this article, followed by an article from an apparent crank journal denying any such thing exists, then several apparent crank sites and Wikipedia mirrors. A Google Scholar search turns up what appear to be largely crank papers; one can see how this term might be frequently invented by numerologists, but if the article is to be about that, we need a reliable source documenting such use. The concept itself is more notable than that of a "1 kg particle," on the grounds that the Planck mass is a plausible natural mass scale, but only barely. All this article does is confuse people into thinking that Planck mass is the mass of a hypothetical particle rather than part of a system of units. A much better-written version of this content already exists at Planck mass where it belongs. Jim E. Black (talk) 07:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have heard of the term, but only used in the context of defining the Planck mass - and I can't find any references to it other than in that context. Agree that the description in Planck mass is better. -- Boing! said Zebedee 10:58, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Planck mass--most is already there anyway. Owen× ☎ 01:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I easily found multiple notable documents and journals talking about Planck particles. I have added them to the article. They clearly pass WP:N. Silverseren^C 19:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
