VP (nerve agent)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A search of SciFinder turns up only one report of this chemical compund in the scientific and patent literature. This is the most comprehensive chemical database in existence, and if this is the only hit that turns up, then there is nothing else publicly reported about it. The one hit is US patent 3903098 in which this chemical is just one of many related chemical compounds reported. There is nothing special about it. As the article itself says, "Little is known about it other than its chemical formula." Per WP:N (all chemical compounds must meet the general notability guideline to be included in Wikipedia) and WP:V, this article should be deleted. ChemNerd (talk) 20:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep "Little is known about it" is a problem for us, but I don't think it's insurmountable. It's a V agent, with a recognised member name as VP. That is notable. Can we source this to meet WP:V, whilst still limited to the public sources?  Well it's in the rubber-suit bible, which is probably the most authoritative public source for such things. I think this is thin, but given the domain, it's enough. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:28, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to CB military symbol. Covered sufficiently there, and not much sourcing or other information to be found about it. Having a stand alone article doesn't really add any information. I'd suggest redirecting it to Nerve agent, but it's not covered there, it is covered at CB military symbol. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 00:36, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to CB military symbolDoes not appear anywhere else than in a reliable database, and there is little information about it. Not enough for an article, enough to mention it somewhere in a list or something like that.--Müdigkeit (talk) 07:34, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge into Nerve_agent. Like others have said, I could not find any extra information beyond that which is already in the stub. "CB military symbol" seems to be more like a list article. It does not mention that VP is related to VX. (I am prepared to accept that the reference Handbook of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents supports the statement about the relationship.) I don't think that information about this relationship should be added to the "CB military symbol" list article. Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Nerve_agent per Axl. Anotherclown (talk) 00:31, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Nerve agent. A note about VP already exists at CB military symbol, and it doesn't make sense to redirect to a list that then links to the main article. ~ RobTalk 12:01, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
