Speedy deletion nomination of OpenCOBRA(project)

[edit]

Hello BashfulSimian,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged OpenCOBRA(project) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. MrScorch6200 (talk) 02:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I'll add this to your talk page, since I'm guessing that's the etiquette, but for the sake of dialogue, thanks here as well :) I'll be taking TJRC's advice below on creating a page for the COBRA paradigm, though it may be the same as the fluxomics page essentially. I won't create any new pages until I've resolved whether the extended systems biology aspects of COBRA can be shoe-horned into fluxomics or not... Cheers, anyway :) BashfulSimian (talk) 06:45, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OpenCobra / COnstraints Based Reconstruction and Analysis

[edit]

Hi, BashfulSimian. I see you added openCOBRA(project) to the Cobra disambiguation page. The article itself was deleted by MrScorch6200 (talk · contribs), above. I cleaned up the dab page.

Based on a quick search, I don't see a lot of coverage of openCobra, and my initial sense is that, as a software project, it probably is not getting sufficient coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the project itself to warrant an article. It would probably get deleted as not meeting notability requirements.

However, I see a lot of coverage for Constraints Based Reconstruction and Analysis (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL), which OpenCobra addresses, and it seems to be a notable topic. I would suggest that, rather than trying to create an article on OpenCobra, you consider an article on COnstraints Based Reconstruction and Analysis, one section of which could cover the OpenCobra implementation.

As an aside, just on naming; since there are no other articles named "OpenCobra" it was not necessary to add "(project)" to the article title to disambiguate it; i.e., you could have just called it OpenCobra.

Good luck! TJRC (talk) 03:17, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the feedback TJRC, I actually had that thought shortly after, and shouldn't have been so hasty about restricting the paradigm to the implementation. Thanks for the reasoned and friendly reaction to my unnecessary article creation :) As mentioned above, I'll resolve my ontologies before messing with anything further.
