Phosphorane → Phosphoranes — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC) This article is about the chemical class of phosphoranes, not the parent hydride ergo, the current title is deceptive. --Plasmic Physics (talk) 00:17, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Disagree. PH5 is either unknown or of fleeting existence, so there is no problem with keeping the article this way. Less confusing to readers, who have no interest in hair-splitting. You have not demonstrated the abiity to develop the appropriate article, in my opinion. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:21, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- oppose move, guidelines state singular form V8rik (talk) 20:06, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Guidelines can be changed… --Leyo 14:58, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- ...and there can always be exceptions made. Regarding the singular/plural question, exceptions exist for objects which are only meaningful in the plural, such as Bernoulli polynomials. Is this case similar to that? -GTBacchus(talk) 19:52, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

"The unstable molecule PH5"
editI was under the impression that it was not even known, despite numerous attempts to make it. Perhaps my information is outdated, but then I would greatly appreciate a citation to that effect. Double sharp (talk) 15:01, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- I dont think that it is known either. Or even detected. That's why the article refers to it as "unstable" but maybe a better adjective would be "hypothetical". --Smokefoot (talk) 16:57, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- OK, I've changed it to "hypothetical". Double sharp (talk) 03:24, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- The original text was translated from the German wiki, I will try and find a credible source V8rik (talk) 13:05, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
