[edit] Morphobank

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

Appears to fail WP:WEB tests, e.g. "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.". Article just seems to promote the morphobank web site. Oscarthecat 21:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Carlossuarez46 23:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This page provides information on not just a web site, but a new web-based application for performing group systematics projects. There have been papers in Nature, Science, and Trends in Ecology and Evolution discussing and using MorphoBank as a reference and repository for phylogenetic matrices. These references as well as a brief history of Morphobank can be added to make the page sound more encyclopedic. Nalacetus 00:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep -- pending the addition of the references specified. I am not sure the screenshots are encyclopedic content, even if they were to be licensed. DGG (talk) 05:50, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per lack of significant coverage. I do not see these refs yet Corpx 06:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - likely notability per WP:ORG (which basically states: "has been the subject of coverage in secondary [reliable] sources"), this does not fall under WP:WEB. Not that many sources online, but several of them are from the academic community and there seems to be some enthusiasm for this (new?) product. -- Steve Hart 01:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; it's web contents, it falls under WP:WEB (and fails to meet it). — Coren (talk) 23:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
