List of human genes on chromosome 12

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Should these not all be in one article of human genes? Looking into this I found a page with links for every chromosome getting its own page. Legacypac (talk) 05:54, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: these pages are all wrongly conceived and irrelevant redirects/DAB pages. PROD would be better than gumming up AfD in the first instance. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:36, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: this incomplete list clearly satisfies WP:LISTN. Human genes are notable, and grouping by chromosome is fairly standard. The only question is whether Category:Genes on chromosome 12 is a better way of achieving the same goal, given the large number of genes on each chromosome. -- 120.23.99.196 (talk) 12:07, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment by article creator Category:Chromosome 12 gene stubs contains 423 entries. Many of them are orphans. This page would allow all those orphan tags to be removed (and I can't think of a better way of doing it). Narky Blert (talk) 12:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Putting them on a list is not a serious de-orphaning; that would involve linking articles on related medical conditions etc. And a list of this type is difficult to maintain; in my view a category does the job in a better way. -- 120.23.89.71 (talk) 21:23, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * As I understand it, categorising an article only makes it link out: it does not justify removal of an "orphan" tag (i.e. no links in). I've worked on a few well-categorised articles in non-biological areas which had been flagged as orphans because nothing linked in.
 * With genes - imo nothing will ever link in to most of those articles; well, not for a decade or few, anyway. Dilemma: leave them as orphans, or list them? (BTW, genes don't code for medical conditions.) Narky Blert (talk) 03:36, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Leave them as orphans until useful links are made to them. And yes, a large number of medical conditions are the result of damage to specific genes. See Chromosome 12 (human), for example. Kabuki syndrome is an example of a medical condition associated with a chromosome 12 gene. -- 120.23.15.222 (talk) 07:34, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. I've just noticed that this list is redundant to the one at Chromosome 12 (human). -- 120.23.15.222 (talk) 07:34, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment maybe this should be worked on as a draft until it's more useful than the list at Chromosome 12 (human) (by having more entries) and more useful than the category (by having annotated entries). Siuenti (talk) 01:30, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Why not just improve the (much better) list at Chromosome 12 (human) by normal editing? If it gets too long, it can always be split off. -- 120.23.98.8 (talk) 05:53, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

So redirect List of human genes on chromosome 12 to the better developed Chromosome 12 (human)? Seems like a good solution. Legacypac (talk) 07:01, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
