Bitritrium

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is nothing that we can currently say about this predicted chemical element, and there are no efforts to synthesize it. WP has articles for predicted elements up to 120 where serious research is being conducted, but elements 121 and beyond redirect to Extended periodic table. shoy (reactions) 15:03, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. As the nominator points out, this article is basically unverifiable speculation. We can make exceptions for "certain scientific extrapolations", like elements 119 and 120, but I can't find any scientific sources describing element 233, so delete. If we follow past precedent, we could redirect to either extended periodic table or systematic element name, but I don't see the point of creating these types of redirects ad nauseam.

 * Delete per above, and I'll add that I think a redirect is completely unnecessary as "Bitritrium" is a highly unlikely search term, I don't think many people are looking for information on hypothetical elements numbered that high. Not to mention, if we ever did get to a point where we were able to produce this element, there is no guarantee it would keep the name Bitritrium. -War wizard90 (talk) 04:50, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a systematic name. All newly synthesized elements get a temporary name, and then the IUPAC takes several years to decide the naming rights. Altamel (talk) 16:29, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
