We have articles on both isotope and nuclide. If there is any sort of confusion about the use of these terms, this should be discussed in those articles, possibly with some hat notes for users that ended up at the wrong article by mistake. There is no reason an article that has both names in the title to exist.

If the articles are to be merged, then one of those articles should be used as the base (to preserve at least some of the edit history.)

Simply put there is no reason for this current article to exist, and if there is then it should be created by deleting the current page and moving either Isotope or nuclide here.

(Note that the current content of this article simply reproduces that of Isotope and nuclide.TimothyRias (talk) 11:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC) TimothyRias (talk) 11:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Delete The two separate articles are more appropriate. DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
