FAM231B

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is an article about a protein that doesn't exist. The sequence entries on which it is based have been discontinued. That is, when the article was written in 2017, the subject was believed to be a human gene with a predicted protein product, but it became obsolete in a data update in 2018.

The article contains a lot of primary data, like neighboring genes, various calculated properties of the sequence, etc. Much of the rest is essentially original research: citations to BLAST results and to the output of various other bioinformatics tools, some of which are themselves obsolete or unavailable. This would all be fine as an "Intro to Bioinformatics" exercise (which is probably how it started its life) but there just isn't anything encyclopedic to be said on this topic.

 * Delete – per nom, not notable (not even a pseudo gene apparently) and the contents are little more than original research. Boghog (talk) 12:32, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete It's almost exclusively original research, citing only database entries. Tercer (talk) 13:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
