No evidence of notability is provided. The references are all primary research articles coauthored by the technique's inventors Renato Zenobi and Paweł Urban, at least one of whom (or someone close to them) appears to have been involved in coauthoring this article. This article appears to be part of a citation farm or self-promotional circle jerk attempting to establish notability for Paweł Urban. The scientific paper that originally described this technique has been cited only 82 times since it was published in 2010 [1], and Google Scholar is known to be very generous in what it counts as a citation. This is not a highly cited article. There is no evidence (e.g., reliable second-party sources) that this is a notable technique deserving of a Wiki article.

Merge to Single-cell_analysis#Mass_spectroscopy–based_methods. There's a paragraph there that does a good job of summarizing a number of related technologies, and a sentence on this technicque would fit right in. I agree that as a separate article it looks more like a circle-cite exercise than anything else. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:34, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I agree that a merge with a longer article would be appropriate. Vorbee (talk) 06:16, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge is a good resolution. Bearian (talk) 16:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is fine with me. Bueller 007 (talk) 19:11, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
