Diversolide

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable series of compounds (both for laymen and scientists), with only primary sources (two refs from research group that identified it, and I can only find one other article that cites it (and it does not appear to be specifically about these compounds)). Not surprising to have little notability or third-party research or reviews for a chemical whose structure was only published within the past year, but that just means that it's not yet appropriate for a WP article. I suspect author is involved in the reasearch (not bad to have experts, and no evidence of COI bias in content (except lots of copyvio (now cleared I think) from original article, just noting it).

Delete. Only 11 hits for "diversolide" on Google Scholar, which says the primary ref has only been cited twice. Also I am not a chemist, but the Corrigendum sounds rather serious to me:

The authors regret that the new sesquiterpene lactones Diversolides A and C–G reported in this paper were previously identified from other plants. These compounds are listed in the following. Therefore, Diversolide B is only a new compound. The authors also thank Dr. Henrik Toft Simonsen for his advices to the Corrigendum.
Diversolide A: talasin A.

Diversolide C: giferolide.

Diversolide D: malafilinin.

Diversolide E: fegvolide.

Diversolide F: malafil.

Diversolide G: malafilin.

Also seems relevant that the name "diversolide" seems to have been used in 1982 for something extracted from the same plant (whether one of these same compounds or not I'm not qualified to judge) doi:10.1007/BF00579664. Qwfp (talk) 14:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. We can't have a new Wikipedia article every time a scientist gets overexcited and coins a new term, only for nobody else to use it. And the Corrigendum is the final nail in the coffin. Fences&Windows 01:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
