Restriction enzymes cutting list

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The lack of introduction and context could be fixed. But I submit that this information belongs on a specialised website, not in a general encyclopedia. &mdash; RHaworth 18:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: I suppose you suggest this article to delete because is too specialised, isn't it? I was thinking in the Wikipedia beyond a "general" encyclopedia. I think it will be its future. But I will accept the decision of the community. The lack of introduction is due to I am editing this article just since 2 days ago (but it has been a lot of work!). The introduction will come. I didn't see in the general policy of the Wikipedia, a rule that defines why my article, or another very specialized article, should not be included in this encyclopedia. It would be a pleasure to read a rule that agree your opinion. &mdash; Flakinho (The main editor of this article)  5 January 2010
 * Rename to something like List of restriction enzyme cutting sites. I would keep it, maybe trimming out some of the more obscure and esoteric ones.  In sor ak ♫  talk  20:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep There are many "specialized" articles on Wikipedia, it is a notable list as well. An introduction can be added. Dog  poster  23:25, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Thought I'd add my two cents... I'm a high school student, and so I'm not extremely well versed in Scientific inquiry and communication. As such, i feel that a list like this is extremely helpful, and worth the extra effort to keep. I was extremely happy to have found this list here, as it provided a fast and easy answer to my question, but was a little saddened to see that it was being considered for deletion. I think as an encyclopedia, regardless of how "indepth" the article is, the information, so long as it's truthful and useful, is extremely valid to keep. But that's just my feelings... hope you decide to keep the page, as it helped me, and probably others, alot :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.101.132 (talk) 00:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename--this is a major topic, a basic technique in molecular biology. Each of the individual enzymes is notable individually, and this sort of summary list is a useful guide to them. Multiple entire books have been written on the subject.      DGG ( talk ) 04:46, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
