A slightly more useful isotope of oxygen; I would be inclined to redirect and merge with the isotopes of oxygen page, noting the use of this one as such. Tyrenon (talk) 05:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• If you wish to merge it into the isotopes of oxygen page, I'm not sure that starting a deletion discussion is useful. Just go ahead and merge it. Just make sure that wherever you merge it to gets all the relevant information added. Bryan Derksen (talk) 06:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge into the isotopes article. Nergaal (talk) 17:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• {{Merge}} does not require AfD - just go ahead and propose it or be bold. - 2/0 (cont.) 18:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep O-15 is used in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and is therefore notable enough. I would prefer to merge it into isotopes of oxygen but that is a separate decision that can and should be decided outside of this process, in my opinion. As noted above WP:AFD is only to be used for articles that satisfy the deletion criteria such as notability or having ONLY bad (such as slander or copyright violation, etc.. ) information. 164.58.59.20 (talk) 21:36, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It's used and it's mentioned in hundreds of books, therefore it's notable. --Itub (talk) 00:23, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable by itself, or if needed, Merge with Isotopes of oxygen. Bearian (talk) 01:05, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Isotopes of oxygen is my !vote. I think these can be usefully covered in the one article. A.C. Norman (talk) 20:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Saying it is a "more useful isotope of oxygen" is a reason to have an article about it, not a reason to delete such an article. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:53, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
