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

  • 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)
  • 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 [http://www.spaceward.org/elevator-when Spaceward Foundation] and the [http://www.isec.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&Itemid=23 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)
  • 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)
