Deletion of Antiverse

Comment: I do not think that  really applies, at least not the way it usually does in physics-related AfD's (perpetual motion machines, etc.). The work was published in a Physical Review Letters|real journal. My concern is that it's simply |too soon &mdash; one very recent paper and a splash of press do not the basis for an article make. The ''Physics World'' item is just an interview with one of the authors &mdash; basically a press release in all but name, without any effort to even get the standard quote from an expert not involved in the work. ''New Scientist'' is New_Scientist#Criticism|famously sensationalist; I wouldn't rely on their reporting to establish the notability of anything, though they're probably OK for ''supplementing'' material on a topic whose notability is already demonstrated. The ''Futurism'' (who?) source is just a pointer to the ''Physics World'' interview, with a few brief paragraphs of summary, so it's neither independent nor in-depth. (Amusingly, it also gets the title of the journal wrong: ''Physical Review of sic Letters.'') The publicity people at Perimeter Institute earned their paychecks, but proposals like this appear all the time, and few of them go anywhere. This article is simply not warranted at the present time

Comment: It's definitely not , although I'm also skeptical that this idea will prove fruitful. In any case, it's not our job to judge scientific merit: it suffices to notice that there's no significant coverage in secondary sources (how could there be? the paper has just been published!). The coverage it received is pretty much only the announcement that the paper was published. Such coverage is nowadays routine for papers published by major institutes, if we would allow that to establish notability Wikipedia would have hundreds of articles about papers that got ignored by the scientific community. If this one makes an impact, then it will be the time to write an article about it. Not now
