  • Delete. Not every peer reviewed paper deserves its own Wikipedia article. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:06, 26 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]
    • Comment: Agreed. But this doesn't exclude the fact that some papers do. I would argue that each species and gene is notable enough to deserve an article. Eventually there will be multiple sources for each. Science is just a little slow. BTW, I've added some more refs to the article, will add more content in time. --Paul (talk) 08:00, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Subject of multiple peer reviewed articles, function has been determined. Boghog (talk) 09:10, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to NKX2-2, which is the only article that links to it at present. Scientific researchers already know what it does: it regulates the expression of Nkx2-2. Google Scholar gives 7 hits, so it does seem to be have some minor notability, but its function can't be understood independently of Nkx2-2 and it would therefore be more sensible to include it in that article. The body text of both articles is short at the moment so a merged article wouldn't be long. Perhaps every human gene that codes for a protein is worthy of a separate article, but perhaps not every stretch of non-coding DNA that is transcribed to RNA. --Qwfp (talk) 20:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
