CSN2

Undeveloped article essentially unchanged since 2009 with no information of any value. Still orphaned. BlackCab ( TALK ) 08:51, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep & rename as beta-casein, which currently redirects here. This topic has lots of coverage both in the scientific press and the semi-popular press. See for example the 2007 book Devil in the Milk.  See article A2 milk. The section Casein probably belongs here.  --Bejnar (talk) 13:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * MERGE to Casein. This is not notable enough for its own article and the main Casein article is not too long by far.  This is a typical case where somebody interested in molecular biology inappropriately started an article where the main article on the protein and its applications has plenty of room for the molecular biology content.

 * Keep & rename as beta-casein. Perusing Gene cards and the NCBI shows this gene/protein to have multiple in depth scientific publications about it. GScholar gets over 6,500 hits for "beta-casein". As Bejnar notes, beta-casein in A2 milk has been noted in the press. In agriculture, milk protein genes like CSN2 are used to asses breeding stock, e.g., . The topic seems highly notable. The article could of course use more development, but already has a good number of sources. I'm not opposed to a merge, but there seem plenty of sources with which to develop an article. A highly notable topic and a stub with no major problems suggests keeping the article. A rename is recommended as beta-casein looks like a much more dominant/common term than CSN2. --Mark viking (talk) 03:56, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Mark if you following the NCBI link and go from there to Pubmed and search for reviews (secondary sources, which are we should base WP articles on) there are none. Lots of primary sources, sure.  This is why I recommend merge to the parent article, Casein Jytdog (talk) 11:31, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NorthAmerica1000 01:43, 2 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep and rename to beta-casein. OMIM has plenty of information on the gene and protein that could be included, as well as additional sources. That, along with the other coverage mentioned above, should be enough to prove notability. Sarahj2107 (talk) 10:21, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
