Stem cell transplantation for systemic lupus erythematosus

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Experimental treatment not even mentioned on systemic lupus erythematosus. No source to suggest that it is any way commonplace. JFW | T@lk  10:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

 * FROM "UP TO DATE" a common reference used by Physicians: Copyvio text removed. Tyndall, A. Cellular therapy of systemic lupus erythematosus. Lupus 2009; 18:387. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Altes2009 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, that Uptodate entry cites one fairly small (50 pt) study. That's not WP:MEDRS in my books. If that is all the evidence there is, notability guidelines are probably not met. JFW | T@lk  17:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't mind merging the fact that this research is being done in systemic lupus erythematosus (perhaps in a "Research directions" section), but it's not really getting enough attention at this time to justify a completely separate article. The extant sources really wouldn't allow us to say much more than the fact that a small clinical trial happened in Italy, and... well, that's about it, really.  Notability requires more than just existence. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:58, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
