List of systems biology research groups

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NOT DIRECTORY. Even as individual groups, almost none of them are likely to be notable (One does have a possibly justified article, and one or two more might, but even so that does not make the while list of them notable. Inappropriate  use of Wikipedia. See also Articles for deletion/List of microfluidics research groups (3rd nomination) and Articles for deletion/List of microfluidics related companies .

 * Delete as this is another example where a solidly acceptable list for Wikipedia is going to be questionable. SwisterTwister   talk  06:43, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources discussing this subject as a group. Violation of WP:NOTADIRECTORY. --Randykitty (talk) 07:58, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree WP:NOTADIRECTORY as above - a possible compromise might be moving to a list of notable sysbio groups, leaving the groups with current WP articles? Entirely possible that some of the groups with pages currently are not notable either, though. --Amkilpatrick (talk) 16:19, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. As others above have mentioned, WP:NOTADIRECTORY is pretty clear on this. Seems to be a place for using a category if someone really wanted to organize these rather than creating an article. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:38, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
