Early 35 kDa protein edit

  • ... that the viral Early 35 kDa protein is a universal inhibitor of programmed cell death or apoptosis?

Created by Shinryuu (talk). Self nominated at 21:49, 23 March 2015 (UTC).

  • New and long enough. Clinical significance section needs a ref, otherwise within policy. QPQ not needed. Spot checks reveal no close paraphrasing. Hook is boring; I think one about its potential use in gene therapy would be more interesting. Just needs the extra ref and a new hook to pass. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 20:12, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've added an in-line citation to the section about apoptosis. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:11, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
  • That's not what I meant; the second paragraph from the bottom needs a reference. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 20:32, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm currently on vacation but will address these issues as soon as I'm back. Thanks for reviewing! Shinryuu (talk) 15:24, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
  • @Shinryuu: This nomination is still outstanding (and has been outstanding for over a month). Recommend that it should be closed soon if the author doesn't respond with the recommended changes. Prioryman (talk) 06:56, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
I added the references myself. The article itself is good to go, and I suggest the following hook. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 16:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
@Antony-22: Thank you for adding the references, and sorry for not responding sooner, I was on vacation for a few weeks. I agree that the new hook is much better and hope that the updated article will now meet approval. Shinryuu (talk) 16:20, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook fact has an inline citation, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:56, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
