• Keep Sources for this compound are a bit more difficult to find than usual, but I found: [1], [2], [3], and possibly [4]. All of these articles discuss other compounds, but contain nontrivial detail about this compound. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:03, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. OK, but why does the article itself not include any "nontrivial detail about this compound"? Essentially there are two pieces of information (1) that it contains one samarium atom and three bromide atoms, but that is obvious from its name; (2) that it is a dark brown powder, which is not obvious but is trivial.

@Athel cb: See WP:NEXIST. Why not add the sources I provided yourself? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:53, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep In addition to sources identified by LaundryPizza, I also found [5], [6], and [7]. Not a well-studied system, but at least one paper used it as a dopant for lanthanum(III) bromide infrared detectors [8]. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 06:12, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Appears to be sufficient academic sources presented above and scope for article expansion from someone familiar with the subject matter. NemesisAT (talk) 10:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep current sources are not reliable but sources exist, expansion needed. Tagged accordingly. Polyamorph (talk) 09:07, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep SmBr₃ has 174 hits and its hexahydrate has 11 hits according to SciFinder. References are sufficient. --Leiem (talk) 14:31, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
