Electromagnetic entity

Essentially this is Jan W. Vegt promoting his own theory. At best, this page should become a disambiguation page pointing to Geon (physics), which seems to be a well-established concept, and AEON (electromagnetic) which is a neologism and which will probably be soon the subject of an AfD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:02, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am working in the field of interaction between radar beams and matter. It is very difficult to find any article about this subject because of military confidential applications. No doubt that the interaction between radar beams and matter has an electromagnetic origin. That's why I appreciate a contribution to Electromagnetic Interaction. It's about the only article I can find about this subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harold25 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I only looked at the abstract of the Wheeler paper. I don't see the term used in quite that way, in the abstract: it mentions gravitational-electromagnetic entities. If it's only used by Vegt, it could just be mentioned in the AEON (electromagnetic) article, if that article is to be kept. Does anyone reading this have ready access to Wheeler's full paper?

Comment: The first article about Geons was published in 1955 in Phys Rev Letters GEONS -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimvegt01 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 8 August 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In the third line in that abstract is written: "Such gravitational-electromagnetic entities, or "geons"; are analyzed via classical relativity theory" -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimvegt01 (talk • contribs) 11:43, 8 August 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Comment this seems like a glorified dicdef. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 02:01, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The paper by Wheeler that supposedly originated the phrase "electromagnetic entity" does not, in fact, contain that. It does discuss geons, for which there is already a separate article. So this would seem to be original research. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
