This article primarily seems to be written about the purely hypothetical gold (iii) phosphide, AuP - a compound with basically no relevance outside the equivalent of footnotes in old encyclopedias, and which even the article can't claim has ever actually been synthesised. Certainly, some hypothetical compounds are of interest scientifically, but if this were, I'd imagine it would be discussed more recently than the 19th century.
Au2P3 has at least some appearances in the literature - a quick search turns up this paper on semiconductor contacts, but I can't see it meeting notability standards. The occasional sentence in a textbook older than many countries to me does not pass the smell test for WP:GNG. If we keep this page at all, it should be rewritten to focus on Au2P3, or the idea of gold-phosphorus compounds in general. Fishsicles (talk) 19:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
