This article has been brought to GAN prematurely and qualifies for the quick-fail criteria. Issues:

suggested merge with the article should be dealt with prior to GAN; the presence of this tag implies there's an issue with stability (GA criterion #5), as the contents of this article may be changed dramatically, or the article removed altogether
there's info in the lead not discussed in the body of the article
article is filled with molecular biology jargon and does not do a good job of presenting the material to an encylopedia-reading audience (random example: "It is here that the snRNA binds to the SmD1-SmD2-SmF-SmE-SmG pentamer, followed by addition of the SmD3-SmB dimer to complete the Sm ring around the so-called Sm site of the snRNA.")
somewhat related to the above point, the article does not do a good job explaining the topic. I imagine a high school student who read this would be more confused than when they started
some "paragraphs" (some of which are only one sentence long) lack any citations
citations in general are very sparse, especially for a topic like this which has such a rich body of scholarly literature to draw from.
