Talk:charge density

RFD discussion: August–October 2015
Not an idiom, simply means what it says, no need to have the separate article. Charge (in physics) means "electric charge". Yurivict (talk) 21:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd tend to keep any physics term that has its own letter, even it's SOP (since that would indicate that physicists think of it as a set term – magnetic flux density is apparent from the sum of its parts, but it has a distinct symbol (B) and is a fundamental quantity in electromagnetics). However, the symbol for charge density is just the symbol for density (in three dimensions, ρ), with a subscript q for charge, which indicates that it's probably not thought of as a distinct quantity, just a useful mathematical object.

 * Keep as translation target. Translates to a single word in at least a couple of languages. Pengo (talk) 02:23, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep using the lemming heuristic: in oxforddictionaries.com, AHD, Collins. --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:12, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete since it is an obvious sum of parts. I would only say to keep charge density (ρq) if we also have entries for every other variable that is distributed in space, e.g. mass density (ρm), particle density (ρn), magnetic-flux density (B), energy density (ρE), etc.  Nicole Sharp (talk) 06:19, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
