Genetic engineering in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Page was created with note that is was a place holder stub and tagged by its creator for expansion. That was in June 2009: nothing has happened since, save a DEFAULTSORT being added two days after creation. The only substantive content is actually a referral to another article and I am guessing that the intention was to expand it with more referrals to other articles. It may be that the subject is worthy of an page, but I doubt it. Besides, even if that is the case it might be better to delete this and wait for the real article to come along. As it is, this page is of no use. Emeraude (talk) 11:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and retitle The article seems to be more about "Opposition to and support for genetic engineering in the United States." The original title is a bit unwieldy since it trys to be both about the research itself, some of which takes place in the USA and some elsewhere, and public opinion about the subject.

 * Delete - This article is not about genetic engineering in the US based on the content that is there. -- Whpq (talk) 13:28, 30 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The intention is to have an article about genetic engineering and the use of Genetically modified organisms but a title of Genetic engineering and genetically modified organism in the United States is a little unwieldy. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:09, 3 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep (as article creator). The topic is notable and therefore deserves an article. I created it as a stub (and possibly forgot about it) hoping that another editor may expand it. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:43, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Note to nominator, AFD is not cleanup. If you believe the subject is notable enough to have an article, then don't nominate it for deletion simply because you want a fully made detailed article there instantly.  Use the talk page to discuss hwo improvements could be made, what should be added, etc.  This is clearly a notable topic.   D r e a m Focus  06:17, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Note, I just added a section in section for those opposed to Genetic engineering, listing one of many examples of health concerns. Genetic_engineering_in_the_United_States There is a lot that could be added.  And the talk page has never had a single post from anyone on it.  AFD should be a last resort, not the first thing you do.   D r e a m Focus  06:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
