"melting at around 300-400 degrees", what units? Fahrenheid or Celsius? Kelvin would be even better --BlackShift 13:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I concur with BlackShift. Someone who knows has to address the subject --Ultrafan 13:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete - more duplicative speculative sciencecruft. The article admits that evidence for this is fabricated and that its main role is in ufo conspiricy. Trollminator 20:51, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep DCEdwards1966 20:58, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Strong keep; The article notes that one announcement of the discovery was based on falsified data - that doesn't address the Dubna results, which are not - to the best of my knowledge - seriously challenged. It's "main role" - you're being duplicitous again, as this is the "in popular culture" section. It exists. It is chemically very significant (the "island of stability" has been a major target of nucleosynthesis work). It's an element. It's notable. Shimgray 21:02, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I suspect the request is trolling. Pakaran (ark a pan) 21:31, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Of all the noteworthy articles recently listed by Trollminator, this is a completely bogus VfD and clear abuse of the VfD process. [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 21:34, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Is there a proposed name, like Element 113? --myselfalso 02:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Howabout Lazarium (Lz). Cosmium 03:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I was proposing a name sednium (Sd) in honor of a planetoid or dwarf planet Sedna. Now, I'm using this name for element 128. Now, I will propose the name Lazarium instead after Bob Lazar. Cosmium 06:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need longer half-life for chemical properties to make sense

I've deleted the following text:

It is believed to be a brittle metal melting at around 300-400 degrees and vaporising readily.
(in Elementbox) appearance: unknown, probably silvery white or metallic gray
(in Elementbox) phase: presumably a solid

Unless someone finds an isotope with a half-life significantly longer than 61 ms, there is no hope of having enough of the stuff to have any chemical properties. Furthermore, no source is cited even for the speculations. Kingdon 13:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
