Apricitabine

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

In some four-odd months of existance, this article has hardly undergone substantial updates and change. It consists of a single paragraph which will be of little or indeed no use to medical students researching the drug. Added to the fact it is merely experimental and no information is given of it's current status, I doubt whether anyone has or will take major interest in the role of keeping this topic up-to-date. Seeing as it is also classed as being low in importance, would Wikipedia really suffer as a result of it's deletion? It's information box is devoid of any detail whatsoever.  A Prodigy   ~In Pursuit of Perfection ~ 20:25, 29 August 2008 (UTC) OK, I never actually knew of the links Fvasconcellos pointed out. Apologies.

 * Keep. Please have a look at WP:NOEFFORT. The fact that an article is not being worked on does not mean it is unsuitable for inclusion, and it certainly doesn't mean there is no information around that could be used to expand it; the German-language version of this article is much longer and contains quite a bit of information that could be carried over here. Twenty-one scholarly studies concerning apricitabine have been published in MEDLINE-indexed journals, and it is currently in Phase III clinical trials. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 20:33, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Shall I translate the German version? (Could take a few days, since I won't have internet access over the weekend.) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 20:49, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If your happy to take the time and effort, that would be great. You'd be both improving the article considerably and making sure it won't be nominated for deletion again! Two birds with one stone.  A Prodigy   ~In Pursuit of Perfection ~ 20:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be a great idea—I don't speak German :( Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Any objections to a speedy close? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 21:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
