this article here (Lennard-Jones fluid) is essentially a duplicate to Lennard-Jones potential and should be removed. It does not provide additional information nor it would be clear how the two articles differ regarding their scope. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TimeStep89 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep: Duplicates content of the Lennard-Jones potential article and thus needs a rewrite, but there are sufficient reliable sources for a stub. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Lennard-Jones potential. I have verified that this redirect target includes the important references and content in this article.
- (Just FYI, this AfD process is a Big Deal on Wikipedia and it pulls in folks from across Wikipedia. To clean up these kinds of extraneous leaf pages, merge is much better option. Check that the leaf content and significant references are in target then propose a redirect via the Talk page for the project, in this case Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry. If you don't get push back after a week, apply the redirect.) Johnjbarton (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Redirect to Lennard-Jones potential it is the better option that I think MICHAEL 942006 (talk) 17:14, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect. The Lennard-Jones potential article is long and could plausibly be split into shorter articles on subtopics, but this duplicate article doesn't really help in that regard, as it is not more substantial than Lennard-Jones potential § Properties of the Lennard-Jones fluid. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:07, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- It seems in general possible to split the "Lennard-Jones potential" article.
- Yet, it would not be obvious how. The only option that I could see would be to make a split to "Lennard-Jones potential" and "Lennard-Jones substance", i.e. the (theoretical) substance described by the Lennard-Jones potential. However, several aspects would need to be discussed equally in both articles.
- I think it is best to keep it as a single concise article. TimeStep89 (talk) 21:12, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
