Talk:Precious metal

Suggestion to rename to "Precious metals" (plural form)
In line with quite a number of other wikipedia articles (Refractory metals, Coinage metals, Heavy metals, Native metals), and since this page describe a group of several metals called "precious metals", it would make sense to rename this article into "Precious metals".

 * This question came up in some others, where I find the singular more obvious. In chemistry, often enough one wants a generic halide for example, so not in the group sense. I note this one was also recently renamed. In any case, I am less sure it should be singular, than for some others. Some people can be very particular about which precious metal they want.
