Proposing deletion edit

This was a proposal for an experiment that was cancelled and never built. I'd say that makes it not notable, and therefore propose deletion. There are many proposed but never realised experiments. Scnlf (talk) 12:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Careful edit

Careful about WP:CRYSTAL and WP:WEASEL here. Language such as "SuperB should make it possible to..." "It is hoped that SuperB will..." "SuperB is expected to..." Who's doing the expecting and hoping? How should we revise this? ALI nom nom 19:54, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I am not particularly keen on the wording I used, and have made some adjustments. I accept there was an element of WP:WEASEL, though not much, since in the context it must be clear that the expecting and hoping are being done by the physicists who are planning SuperB. However, I don't think that WP:CRYSTAL applies, because what is being described is the plans for what the collider will do. These plans are very much present, and published in reliable sources. What the collider will do is, however, a different matter, and if we said "SuperB will do such and such" then it would be more dubious. JamesBWatson (talk) 22:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I thought that saying "is intended to" worked. It's a tricky wording, to be sure. ALI nom nom 03:13, 15 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
