[edit] Computational epigenetics

Computational epigenetics (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Page is essentially original research and the content is simply material lifted verbatim from the research paper so this is a copyright issue as well. Montco (talk) 19:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - it is the author's own research, but it's not original here - it's properly referenced to a peer-reviewed journal, Bioinformatics. The only issue might be whether the "Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License" under which it's offered from Bioinformatics is compatible with the requirements of the GFDL; but as the article is a precis, and the wording isn't actually copied verbatim from Bioinformatics, I don't see a problem.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Bongwarrior (talk) 07:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I agree with JohnCD. I also note that the author in his first edit, hoped that others would add to this article. Let us give others time to do so. It is the wiki way. --Bduke (talk) 10:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Leaving aside the debate over whether "Computational X" is its own field or a subfield of each X, there appears to be a goodly amount of research in the field using the term. If it is good enough for the Max Planck Institutes, it is good enough for me. Eldereft (talk) 15:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
