Indiscriminate Collection of Information (User's talk shows history of creating articles like this, nominating for review of notability). Wikipedia does not need a string of articles on specific versions of vaccines. At best a list. &eta;oian  &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  02:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC) 
 * Redirect all 3 to Meningococcal disease -- they are apparently the principal strains used for vaccines. I suppose articles could be written, if anyone wanted to find refs. & do the work. DGG (talk) 08:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no context, no history - nothing that makes the entry encyclopedic. Ros0709 (talk) 10:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable vaccine - reads like the package insert, or maybe copied from the press release&mdash; G716  &lt;T·C&gt; 16:43, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into a general article on meningococcus vaccine. As can be seen on meningitis, the vaccine itself is getting wide application and recent developments make it suitable for its own article. That said, we should keep all the vaccines together on one page, not have individual pages for each brand. JFW | T@lk  21:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete NmVac A/C/Y/W-135; Keep NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 DT - The NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 title likely would need to be changed to something like Meningococcal disease prevention and Information on NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 can be added to Meningococcal_disease if there is a need. Also, per NmVac4.pdf, "NmVac A/C/Y/W-135" may be a typo of NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135, so it is not clear that there is anything of value in the unsourced article to retain. Since "NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 DT" was not tagged for deletion, keep "NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 DT". "JN-QC-Spot HIV-1/2" was red linked when I came across this AfD.-- Suntag  ☼  13:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect - to Meningococcal disease per DGG. &mdash; neuro(talk) 18:12, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 to NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135, a much fuller article on what appears to be the same vaccine. Merge NmVac A/C/Y/W-135 DT to Meningococcal_disease. As NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135 shows, there is no reason why an encyclopedic article on an individual vaccine cannot be written, but I agree that an overview of meningococcal vaccines would be more useful to the general reader than individual vaccine stubs.
