The result was merge‎ to Victor Ninov selectively. The choice between selective merge and BLAR can be made editorially, but as a minimum, the term itself should probably be mentioned at the target. Owen× ☎ 22:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a content fork of Oganesson#Unconfirmed iscovery claims and isotopes of oganesson#Cold fusion, and there is no evidence in any reliable sources of "ninovium" being proposed as a name. Given said lack of sourcing for the name, I propose it be deleted outright, but a case could be made for a plausible redirect. ^Complex/_Rational 22:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• delete, no results for 'ninovium' in google scholar, and just one in google books. Not sure that redirect is needed. Artem.G (talk) 06:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename, The topic seems to be distinct enough from Oganesson to warrant its own page. The page should instead be renamed to something more on-topic (1999 Oganesson hoax?), as the name Ninovium does not appear in any contemporary sources. TheWikipedianSheep (talk) 08:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge & redirect to either Victor Ninov or Oganesson per Talk:Ninovium discussion.--ReyHahn (talk) 14:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Oganesson, main article can take more information. ✶Quxyz✶ 16:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Oganesson Victor Ninov. I doubt that this term has actually seen much use beyond the joking thumbnail of a YouTube video. We shouldn't propagate the idea that ninovium was actually in contention as a potential element name. Edited to change redirect target. I think anyone looking for "ninovium" will more likely be interested in the hoax, and thus the person, than in any of the other things we say about the actual chemical element.

• Redirect to Victor Ninov. From what I can see there is nothing here that is not already in that page (in more detail). Ldm1954 (talk) 10:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
