Rothstein Lab

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Laboratory that does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Most sources appear to be self-published, and I'm having difficulty finding information about the lab itself. A majority of information that tangentially discusses the lab is about Prof. Rothstein himself and his research (as the principal investigator); he possibly meets WP:PROF and could be a reasonable subject for an article. However, I'm not seeing evidence that his actual physical laboratory is an encyclopedic topic in its own right. Kinu t/c 20:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete But... I can't find anything on the lab, but the fellow it's named after seems very notable, as head of the lab/department, winner of the 2009 Genetics Society of America Novitski prize or based on his citation count. If that were created then this should then be merged/redirected there.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 23:07, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename to Rodney Rothstein and repurpose accordingly. Lady  of  Shalott  23:48, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Significant notable research in medical and DNA research was pioneered at Rothstein lab, which is also a notable laboratory at Columbia Universtiy Medical Center in New York city. Northamerica1000 (talk) 16:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Columbia University Medical Center. The professor-founder of the lab, Rodney Rothstein, is notable, but his laboratory itself (12 or so people) is not independently notable. The lab should certainly be mentioned in the Columbia University Medical Center article. Neutralitytalk 07:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
