Carboxymethylguanine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All chemical compounds must meet the general notability guideline to be included in Wikipedia. This is not a notable chemical compound. The title is ambiguous - there is more than one known chemical compound that could be named "carboxymethylguanine". Carboxymethylguanine is not mentioned in the cited reference (although a different chemical compound with a related name, carboxymethylguanosine, is mentioned), so the content remains unverifiable as well. Article fails both WP:N and WP:V. ChemNerd (talk) 18:23, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - the -guanine/-guanosine difference mentioned by nom is, in this case, a semantic distinction but nom is right that it is a false-grouping of distinct adducts - O6- and 7-carboxymethylguanine are both biologically relevant but chemically very different [see, upper left for the different structures of the two]. However, the only cited source is only passing reference.  PubMed turns up 19 refs to carboxymethylguanine but they are all either primary or passing reference and don't seem to rise to the level of notability among the hundreds of thousands of biochemical adducts found in biological systems.
