The result of the debate was Deleted I will create a short article at CRISP to link to the original source Stewart Adcock 20:55, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
The cited article is just a placeholder for 27 long articles containing nothing but lists of terms:
all of which I'm proposing for deletion. I only put the ((subst:vfd)) tag on the first one, because doing it 27 more times was too painful (and seemed rather pointless).
This is a huge list of terms imported from a thesaurus found on an NIH web site. They appear to be keywords culled from research grant applications. The problems are several. The vast majority don't link to anywhere. Many of the concepts have corresponding articles, but not under those exact names. It appears that the source is updated weekly, which means this list is out of date almost immediately. This is a mindless import of data, with no added encyclopedic value. See Talk:List of biomedical terms for more info.
This was on VfD recently in a slightly different form, and was voted to keep, but it appears to have been largely by default with little or no discussion and almost no voter input. I think it's worth another round, if only to build a strong consensus one way or the other.

This should not be deleated. It does provide a great way of redirection of definitions not found elsewhere.
