Talk:azidoazide azide

RFV discussion: May–August 2017
Apparently considered by some a prank word. Can we find 3 cites for each (serious and prank) definition? DCDuring (talk) 18:44, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The material seems real. The chemist working with it is one . But I can't find anything but online blogs, some clearly respectable, that mention the term in question. DCDuring (talk) 19:12, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

There was an RFD, made in error, and I have transferred the text from it below. There was no basis for deletion at RFD, but the term does not seem to be citeable. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:55, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

"The term 'azidoazide azide' is not a real chemical name. The blogger Derek Lowe made up this term (here) entirely as a joke when referring to the chemical with the real chemical name '1-diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole'. The joke name 'azidoazide azide' has been used elsewhere since then, sometimes using it jokingly in imitation of Lowe, and sometimes apparently without realization that 'azidoazide azide' was a joke.  In no way is 'azidoazide azide' a meaningful chemical name for 1-diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole.  For additional context, please see the deletion discussion for a redirect with the same title at w:en:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2017_February_14 which resulted in deletion of Azidoazide azide.

 * Move to RFV. (P.S. I'm reminded of dihydrogen monoxide and bananadine.) Equinox ◑ 16:49, 23 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Prank or not, if there are three cites meeting WT:ATTEST supporting a particular definition, we should have an entry. Let's see what definition(s) fit the valid citations. DCDuring (talk) 16:48, 23 May 2017 (UTC)"


 * Well, there are now three cites meeting WT:ATTEST. This one is cited Kiwima (talk) 20:09, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

RFV-passed. Kiwima (talk) 21:44, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
