Comment prior to beginning review[edit]

There is backload of nearly 1000 articles, and I offer this advice so when your review begins, it can go smoothly. Your article is far from being in an acceptable Wikipedia (WP) format. In the Edit work area, you will see the ways that articles are made encyclopedic, for instance with regard to overall structure, the section headings and subsection headings, the top and bottom matter of an article, etc. Go back to the "Draft" tab, and look at the "View history" tab there (or just go into the editing area and look), and you will see I did a couple of quick edits, to create a section heading, and to combine repeating citations, to give you beginning examples of what must be accomplished.

More critically, in this regard, your article lacks a "lead", and until this appears, I cannot imagine the article being approved. [Click on the links appearing in the message (tag) at the top of the article, that talks about your introduction.]

Hence, it will be worth your while, to visit a "good article" (this is a status at Wikipedia), and look into the edit area there, to see how the look of an article is accomplished, the citations are presented and created, etc.

Two examples of such articles can be found at Thrombophilia and Polyclonal B cell response.

Cheers, and good luck. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 06:17, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Leprof 7272: Formatting is not a valid reason for rejecting a draft. The only criteria that matter are WP:N and WP:V. Converting introductions into leads is easily accomplished and I have made an initial attempt. Boghog (talk) 08:49, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the effort. The Talk and other work was not an AfC rejection, in which I am uninvolved, but rather guidance. It was not clear to me that other editors were to be involved, in taking over the process of submission from a submitter, hence I did not do more. (In fact, in other cases, I edited, and then reverted myself, so that the guidance could be given, but the submission remain in the hands of the submitter.) In any case, as always, you have done fine technical editorial work, and the article is improved by it. I hope in being given the fish, this submitting editor learns what s/he needs. Cheers.

Per WP:AFCSTANDARDS, Avoid declining an article because it contains formatting issues, such as no wikilinks to other articles, or because it has no sections. Instead, fix it yourself, or accept the article and tag it with maintenance templates to alert other editors to the one or two issues that you believe need to be resolved first.

Regarding the merge proposal[edit]

I would support a separate article for this subject, with proper cross-referncing, at least for the time being. The article proposed for the possible merge is already long and technical, and it may be best for the two to evolve, separately, for a time, for the sake of each of their qualities.
