Parasite-encoded cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)

This is page is essentially WP:SYN and promoting the work of one lab -- a mini-review assembling primary sources, created by someone who has been going around WP WP:REFSPAMming citations into our project. With regard to this page, As you can see in its history, I went through this bit by bit and removed primary sourced content and straight up WP:OR, and was left only with sourced content about Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (the only secondary source, is about the human ortholog). I went into pubmed and found one decent review on this set of related proteins, added content based on that secondary source at the main Macrophage migration inhibitory factor page, and redirected this there. The creator reverted to their version. So here we are. There are insufficient secondary sources with which to build an article on this topic at this time. We can build content on this at the main page until there is enough content there and then do a WP:SPLIT at that time. Jytdog (talk) 20:09, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - this is WP:SYNTH and barely more than WP:OR or even WP:SPAM. Bearian (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
