Talk:A-type proanthocyanidin

COI
I added a COI tag because I suspect the author of this page,, may be Alex Herzlinger, co-counder of Youtea. Rees11 (talk) 13:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

There is no mention of YouTea anywhere in this article. Please search PubMed - at least 10 articles discuss A-Type Proanthocyanidins, their anti-adhesion activity, and link to UTI prevention. Even a Cochrane review has been conducted. The scientific evidence surrounding A-Type Proanthocyanidins is strong. Why does Wikipedia not have an article summarizing A Type Proanthocyanidins? And this article does address the shortcomings of those trials. —Preceding unsignedUser:ahertzy comment added by Ahertzy (talk • contribs) 19:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Aren't you in the business of selling A Type Proanthocyanidin, or connected with a company that is? If so, you have a conflict of interest (COI). If not, sorry I misunderstood. Rees11 (talk) 21:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Even a Cochrane review has been conducted.
 * See below: the Cochrane review makes no mention of A-Type Proanthocyanidins. And WP:MEDRS requires secondary sources, not editor-selected primary sources. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 02:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I've proposed that this is merged into the Proanthocyanidin as it seems as though it would be better to include it there and because this page repeats some of what the main article says. (see Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard for COI problems too). Smartse (talk) 17:03, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge – I'm not a professional chemist but these compounds seem closely related, and a merged article would not be overly long. Rees11 (talk) 22:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * no merge - I expect both articles will grow. Their style/tone/level are different and a merge would create an unbalanced article, and a later split would be a pain. Rod57 (talk) 14:38, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * no merge - An article about a sub-category or sub-division should not be merged with an article about a broader category. For example Cedar should not be merged with Tree, city should not be merged with county, engine should not be merged with car, dog should not be merged with mammal, etc.  A type proanthocyanidin should be mentioned in a short paragraph with a Main article link in the proanthocyanidin article.
