The α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex in Alzheimer’s Disease

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Pure original research - this appears to about the editor's own research and experiments. Scientific research papers belong in journals like PLoS Biology etc, not on Wikipedia. Any involvement of the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex in Alzheimer’s Disease can be covered in the Biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease or similar.

 * See Articles for deletion/Ketoglutaric acid and Alzheimer's disease by the same nominator.
 * The closer makes the assertion that an article is undue weight for this subject, which is absurd given the volume of information that must be presented. The closer also rightly points out that the learning curve for the article is very steep (to address this problem, an article is required), but this is a reason for an RFC to gather editors to improve the article, not a reason for deletion Anarchangel (talk) 00:29, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Not Original Research, as was shown to the same nominator in the previous AfD. Indeed, the closer made no mention of OR. Pharmacological mechanisms in Alzheimer's therapeutics A. Claudio Cuello, page 196, shows the connection between Ketoglutaric acid and Alzheimer's is sound. Anarchangel (talk) 00:29, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing is preventing you from adding sourced information to Biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease. Abductive  (reasoning) 08:10, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - even if the connection is "sound" (a non-scientific term) this is entirely original research, of which Wikipedia does not publish. The title is also so specific as not to be a realistic search term, so a redirect is out of the question.  If someone wants to merge it selectively into Alzheimer’s Disease, I could go along with that. Bearian (talk) 17:20, 5 April 2011 (UTC) P.S. Another option is to merge this into Biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease as suggested at the other AfD. Bearian (talk) 17:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete for consistency with the previous AfD. There has been no analysis of this topic in independent secondary sources. Abductive  (reasoning) 08:10, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
