Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The concept of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases is not widely recognised within the medical community. Despite what the article says, it is very difficult to group together the widely divergent diseases listed. The fact that they're all treated with immunosuppression is about the only thing. Searching the term as a text word on Pubmed yields 45 references, none of which address the concept in itself. I think deletion is the best step here. JFW &#124; T@lk  19:40, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - it may need work, but the concept is clearly notable and recognized in the literature. See the scholarship, treatise references, and news articles about the concept.  This nomination, while well-meaning, did not take into account easy online research.  Rescue? Bearian (talk) 23:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - this article needs extensive development and lots of citations, but it is unquestionably notable. It does need some expert attention to select and paraphrase good review articles (i.e. secondary sources) from the thousands of papers on immunity and inflammatory diseases.

 * Agree with Bearian there's no shortage of RS. Have added one obvious book and marked page as needing medical attention... Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
