Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oxygen-13


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   keep. No consensus to delete but there is a consensus to merge. Since there's already a merge tag on the page, I see no point in adding another big purple one. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Oxygen-13

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

All of this information can be found on the Isotopes of Oxygen page (or could be added with ease). I cannot find guidelines on whether "minor" isotopes (i.e. ones that are not regularly discussed or regularly used for something) are notable, but the stub-like nature of this article and the easy condensability into a single isotopes article suggest that the inclusion of this article is superfluous.

 * Re-direct and Merge with oxygen. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Isotopes of oxygen 70.29.208.129 (talk) 07:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, to Isotopes of oxygen. There is no need to bring this here, be bold and do it.Synchronism (talk) 07:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions.  -- TexasAndroid (talk) 11:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into the isotopes article. Nergaal (talk) 17:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge does not require AfD - just go ahead and propose it or be bold. - 2/0 (cont.) 18:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * weak delete: I could not find anything remotely notable (after a quick search to be certain) about this isotope. On the other hand the rationale given for delete is invalid.  (It is a very good reason for merging and redirecting the information, though.)  As noted above, permission is not needed to merge and redirect this.    164.58.59.20 (talk) 21:41, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Re-direct and Merge with Isotopes of oxygen. Bearian (talk) 01:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or just redirect to isotopes of oxygen. In my opinion, the "stub-like nature of this article and the easy condensability" are not sufficient justifications for deletion.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and then discuss merging. AfD is not the method/place to discuss merging. This isotope is also notable on its own and deserves a separate article.Biophys (talk) 13:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This article is prime candidate for merging: full of useful data about a larger topic, itself reasonably short. Thus, on procedural grounds cited by Biophys, keep. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 22:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
