Withdrawing my nomination and closing. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 18:53, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added two references, one a book on single-cell analysis and the other a special journal issue devoted to the topic. A search for "single cell analysis" on Google Scholar shows 24,900 hits. This is a highly notable topic, per WP:GNG. The article asserts that single cell analysis is important for understanding cell heterogeneity in multi-cellular organisms. The article could use more development on analysis techniques and notable findings, especially with all the sources available. But these are surmountable problems, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. A highly notable topic and surmountable article problems suggests keeping this article. --Mark viking (talk) 22:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going with a weak keep; it is not the worse stub I've seen. Biology topics are usually per se notable. Bearian (talk) 18:37, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
