Rosalind recognized as Best Educational Resource in the Top Bioinformatics Contributions of 2012. --Vyahhi (talk) 09:38, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with that publication, is this a blog?Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:48, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's bioinformatics blog. Vyahhi (talk) 08:47, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The BioInform reference is a reliable secondary source The others are not. Mark viking (talk) 12:40, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There also exists publication in Russian, but it may be not suitable for English wikipedia: http://www.polit.ru/article/2012/11/17/rosalind/ Vyahhi (talk) 08:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-English reliable sources are fine in English Wikipedia. It looks like a reasonable article with enough coverage of Rosalind to be considered in depth, at least in Google translation. I don't know the website; would you consider this organization to be a reliable news source? Mark viking (talk) 04:00, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to Bioinformatics#Software and tools. This is the result of US/Russia academic collaboration and seems well worth a mention in the main article. WP:BEFORE is relevant and I would have expected a explanation as to why a merge was not considered suitable in the nomination statement. TerriersFan (talk) 02:18, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I rarely think merge is a viable option. I am not opposed when it's brought up but I am a deletionist, I believe with a few exceptions that if it shouldn't be there is not much sense or use in merging it to an overall article it just spams up that other overall article. just my opinion.

Keep - This is completely notable and useful. 169.228.148.144 (talk) 07:17, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: 169.228.148.144 is currently blocked, as one of a number of IP sockpuppets used by Rhinotate to try to rig another AfD. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect per User:Hell in a Bucket above. Notable enough for a mention in the Bioinformatics article, but not enough for a stand-alone. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 07:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
