Nonvanishing conjecture for symmetric Wigner 6j symbols

Let k,nk,n be integers and let

{kkkn2n2n2}\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}k&k&k\frac n2&\frac n2&\frac n2\end{array}\right\}

be the Wigner 6j6j symbol appearing in the description of the cubic invariant Pn,3(F)\mathscr{P}_{n,3}(F). Nonvanishing conjecture. For every pair of integers (k,n)(k,n) with nk2n\ge k\ge2, except (k,n)=(2,3)(k,n)=(2,3), one has

{kkkn2n2n2}0.\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}k&k&k\frac n2&\frac n2&\frac n2\end{array}\right\}\ne0.

The claim is a purely combinatorial conjecture motivated by computer checks and by the proposed regular-sequence extension of Dixmier's conjecture; the source does not state that it has been proved or disproved.
