Pneumocyte

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article seems largely redundant, due to the existence of Type I pneumocyte and Type II pneumocyte, which are both more detailed than this existing article. Furthermore, I'm not aware of anything that would be inappropriate for those two pages that would fit in this article. Anything particularly notable could be discussed in a new article.

I would suggest a merge, but as far as I can tell there is limited info in this stub that could be incorporated into those 2 more specific articles. While summary pages do exist for some topics, with more specific articles for particular topics (e.g. cells types/proteins/enzymes), with only 2 cell types I don't think the pneumocyte subject warrants this type of summary page.

Withdrawn by nominator. Based on the article history and your other points about a summary, I was probably too hasty suggesting a deletion. Hopefully we can instead try to fix some of the article's issues and expand it a little more. Cmastris (talk) 18:35, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep As we are an encyclopedia, and so have a lot of ground to cover, our preference is to cover material in a summary style for the general reader. The page in question does a good job of explaining the topic succinctly.  Readers who want more detail are provided with appropriate links.  Forcing readers to straight to go the detail would not be so sensible.  For one thing they might have to choose a type before they understand the difference between them.  The numbers are little help, as they are not meaningful.  Andrew D. (talk) 14:48, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep – The Type I and Type II articles were split from this one in . We can't delete this article because then we would lose the history. Also I agree with Andrew D. that it is OK to keep this article as a kind of disamb page. – Margin1522 (talk) 17:13, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
