List of types of proteins: The subject is certainly sensible, but the article is in a dreadful state.  It's peppered with random definitions and quotations, unsourced, and often just general bits of cell biology with no particular connection to proteins.  The referencing is dismal.  Many items in the list don't lead anywhere (no link, no idea what they would link to anyway).  The hierarchies of the list, if it has any, are very unclear, so it doesn't really organise the material in any useful way.  I think this was a good idea in the distant past that's got lost, and it's time to get rid of it and start again.  This is related to a current AfD on List of proteins in the human body Elemimele ( talk ) 07:47, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Blank and Redirect to Protein as an ATD, to preserve history while the future of the article is considered.  I completely agree with WP:TNT .  Of interest is that the article has barely changed since 2005 , so it's no surprise it's not up to 2023 standards, but there's no need to delete history here.  — siro χ o 08:49, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Nothing to add to what Elemimele ( talk ) said, with which I completely agree.  Athel cb ( talk ) 09:14, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  It's certainly not appropriately cited, and it would need radical work in all aspects to get it up to current standards (and current biology).

Shellwood ( talk ) 10:01, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect either to Protein or List of proteins .   I can't see the list ever being useful, because as the page incoherently tries to show, there are many different ways of classifying proteins.   It's like making a list of types of businesses, inherently a mess.

GraziePrego ( talk ) 06:49, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment As a potential alternatve to this list, consider List of proteins .  Perhaps a few parts of this list could salvaged and merged into this other list.

Artem.G ( talk ) 17:43, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment .  I assume someone wanted to create a list based on Gene Ontology .  See for example [35] and [36] .  This is a legitimate list, but is it helpful as a WP page?  I am not sure.
