Talk:Aging DNA

This article should become a section of DNA repair

Argument against merge with DNA repair
It appears that the unwikified original version of this article was created by Laura Hoopes. All of the information here is available elsewhere in Wikipedia, not just in DNA repair, but at Accelerated aging disease, Progeria and the other "accelerated aging diseases" as well as at cancer. Trying to merge this article with DNA repair would be like merging cancer with DNA repair. This article discusses both damage and mutation associated with aging. Damage is not mutation. It would not make much sense to merge mutation with DNA repair. There is no good solution to how this article could be merged, therefore I suggest leaving it and hoping that it will develop more content. --Ben Best 00:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oddly, the comment above suggests merger with DNA repair and the tag at the beginning of the article suggests merger with Senescence. Merging with Senescence would make more sense than merging with DNA repair. --Ben Best 00:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above....but we need more links to this article when the concept is mentioned somewhere in an article. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me)
 * Why more links, if it's going to be merged and redirected to senescence (which I think is by far the better target)? Most of the content of this article is redundant anyway, and the title is a neologism not in common scientific use (see Google hits - this article at #1, and mostly incidental pairing of the terms thereafter).
