 * Queried speedy delete. Better get this article looked at by a geneticist. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:10, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The PubMed sources are genuine. Tevildo (talk) 09:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The sources are genuine and this is genuine work of encyclopedic value - it was just badly written but I have made an attempt to clean it up as I have some knowledge in this area. It could do with more fleshing out but I think it is a good stub. Please don't delete it!!
 * Keep. By the time I looked at it, it is sourced and cleaned up somewhat. Sifaka   talk  17:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. The reference to the original research is there. mtDNA haplgroup K1a1b1a is found among 19% of Polish Ashkenazi Jews. The average branch length of mutations within K1a1b1a is only one - indicating a very recent entry (origin) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. This fact is actually quite significant not just for "genetic genealogy" but for Ashkenazi Jewish genetics in general, and the study of genetic diseases, because it shows the limited number of total recent ancestors for Ashkenazi Jews. Even though this is a very specific part of the mitochondrial tree, it is of significance and merits a separate article. This article may need some expansion and editing.


 * Request I do have one change - the article should be named "Haplogroup K1a1b1a (mtDNA)". How do we change the name?
 * Agreed. It needs to follow the naming of other mtDNA Haplogroup related articles.--RebekahThorn (talk) 20:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
