The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete, with no bias against re-creating, should reliable sources be found to establish notability. Pastordavid (talk) 19:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cell Cycle Ontology

Cell Cycle Ontology (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A rather non-notable project with ~60 unique google hits, inlcuding from their own website. `'Míkka>t 06:00, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless wholly rewritten. Whether the project is notable or not is almost beside the point; a larger problem is the lack of context. The introduction —
  The Cell Cycle Ontology, or CCO, project aims to extend the existing ontologies for cell cycle knowledge, to build a resource that integrates and manages knowledge about the cell cycle components and regulatory aspects in OBO and OWL. This knowledge is assembled from a diverse set of already existing resources (GO, IntAct, BIND, NCBI taxonomy, UniProt, and so forth): the combination of the knowledge will give an overall picture of the cell division process. Not only enriched by the combination of resources, Ontology Design Patterns will be appplied in the OWL version of CCO to provide a fine-grained and expressive knowledge model of the cell cycle. Users will be able to do expressive queries and hypotheses validation against the system.

• Delete No independent coverage to establish notability, not to mention completely incomprehensible without expert knowledge. Note that all but one of the author's edits have been to this article or to add external links to their website. Maralia (talk) 17:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Needs expert attention-- I listed it for the molecular biology wikiProject As far as i can personally tell, based on its web site, it seems to be possible a comprehensive project for a major data base. It also seems they are just getting started. DGG (talk) 02:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

• I saw your note of the wikiproject. I have not heard of the project and it seems to be an offshoot of other gene ontology projects. I'd say it is too early to be able to establish any notability which probabbly means that at present it is not notable. We can always start it a new article when their database is more widely known.

• Delete. Looks interesting but seems to be yet another bioinformatics project with little in terms of external validation/verification. The present description sounds like some PR language directly translated from Flemish. COI: I automatically switch off when people use terms like semiotics or ontology to describe their work.
