inclusion as compound noun and subfield

Hi. If "hadron physics" is "physics of hadrons" then it may not be a good candidate for a dictionary entry (in the same way "brown leaf" is "leaf that is brown") &mdash; even though it's a good topic for an encyclopaedia. Equinox ◑ 13:41, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Except that "hadron physics" is a compound noun versus "brown leaf" is an adjective and a noun. It should be included along with other subfields of particle physics. Nicole Sharp (talk) 13:44, 10 April 2013 (UTC)


 * (after edit conflicts caused by moving the topic- twice) It seems to be a compound only in the sense of one noun attributively modifying the other, like "geranium leaf" versus "philodendron leaf". There's really nothing in "hadron physics" that can't be explained by looking up hadron and physics- except for topics beyond the scope of a dictionary. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

@Chuck Entz that makes sense actually, in that respect I agree. How should hyperlinks to hadron physics from e.g. hadronics be edited to avoid linking to a nonexistent page? Nicole Sharp (talk) 14:26, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

If that is the consensus, then hadron physics and meson physics could be deleted. Nicole Sharp (talk) 14:28, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
