This article is based on a single (unpublished) arxiv article. Is written by that aritcle's author. Besides being a topic unsuitable for its own article, it is not notable, in anyway. Since it is not based on a WP:RS, I see no possibility of merging this content to an other article. TimothyRias (talk) 08:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

arxiv can be a perfectly fine source, depending on the author (for example, if you want to quote the latest fermilab results, the arxiv is fine), as long as it is not the only source and the author has some respectability. Thing get more worrisome, if it is the only source, the author is a noname, and the article is from the 'physics' subarchive (aka the loony bin) as is the case here.
