H substance (inflammation)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This usage appears to be a rarely-used term only found in a few medical research papers, compared to the widespread mainstream use of the term "H substance" to describe the H antigen. Given the very small base of cites, does this pass the notability criteria? If not, should this article be deleted, and the H substance disambiguation page converted to a redirect to H antigen?

 * Keep, you assertion that it as been used in "few medical research papers" would signify notability (although the article is not sourced) if this is true, then the article should be kept. Verifiability says that papers are "Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources" Fosnez 08:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * delete The standard is not being mentioned in a few scientific papers. The standard is being the usual term for something notable. Anyway, I'd like to see the papers--PubMed gives zero hits for "H substance" and "inflammation." It seems to be an older use-- I see it mentioned in "A brief survey of the history of inflammation", Journal of Inflammation Research  43, Numbers 3-4 / December, 1994, Notability is permanent, but we're not a medical dictionary and unless the earlier terminology was notable in its period it doesn't belong here, except as a mention in the article on histamine.
