Lutetium

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete because of the lack of applications for it and because it is too similar to the other lanthanides. KaptaşHero (talk) 10:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:WHOCARES. TLOM (The Lord of Math) (Message) 10:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Lutetium does have multiple applications, it could be used in refineries and to create compounds such as Lutetium tantalate that are used with x-rays. Not to mention it is crucial for understanding molecular and quantum chemistry and materials science and for the completion of the periodic table. On the other hand, if you want to delete something that is way too similar to other things and has no practical applications, I would suggest string theory as the 10272000 string theories are too similar to each other and make no physical predictions whatsoever. 107.77.173.61 (talk) 11:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Uranus. Because when in doubt, Uranus. Jeb3  Talk at me here What I've Done 12:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a member of WP:ELEM, I can confidently say that it's a WP:CONTENTFORK of rare earth metal (they're all the same, trivalent and not actually "rare", right?). ComplexRational (talk) 14:09, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with Uranium or Uranus because always redirecting to Uranus is getting old. -KAP03 (Talk &#x2022;&#x20;Contributions &#x2022;&#x20;Email) 19:25, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
