[edit] DNA - The Ladder of Life

Part of me doesn't want to do this to someone who wanted to contribute science articles, but Manoj Prajwal has created two pages - DNA - The Ladder of Life and Post-translational Modifications of proteins - that are entirely redundant with DNA and post-translational modification respectively. I left him a note to that effect on his talk page on the 22nd but he hasn't edited since then, and unfortunately, these really aren't useful to keep around.

The articles are unsourced and poorly formatted, the user signed his name to them, and one has an enormous and obviously copyvio image on it. The text itself doesn't seem to be copyvio, but the articles were created with a very small number of edits for such large blocks of text - I suspect these are someone's school papers. There's really nothing to merge to our more complete existing articles and the titles are such unlikely search terms that a redirect is unnecessary.

(I've nominated a third article created by this user, Role of Dendritic cell apoptosis in Autoimmune disorders, separately, since it was less redundant than these two.) Opabinia regalis 04:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete DNA - The Ladder of Life and redirect Post-translational Modifications of proteins to post-translational modification per nom. -- Koffieyahoo 06:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not for essays written at college one day. The articles are utterly redundant; I cannot see a redirect being helpful either. Byrgenwulf 06:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Redirect. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-07-26 11:35Z
• Delete both as redundant and OR (they read like essays). Unlikely search terms, and I imagine most people would stop at post-translational modification. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 17:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete All I should have really come here when I rm the signatures from DNA - The Ladder of Life. WP:OR. -Royalguard11^Talk 00:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
