Cis-3-hexen-1-ol

Comment, rather than a vote to delete. I'm no chemistry expert, but this (as a separate page) looks out of place on Wikipedia. Suggestions? RidG (talk) 10:04, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Article has no content, and individual chemical susbstances by formulaeic name do not generally deserve separate articles as such. Radiant! 10:24, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• You might find List of compounds interesting, in particular the introduction and the related talk page. Note that the VFD discussion there predates Category:Chemical compounds. Uncle G 12:50, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
• Merge single comment entry into List of compounds, where appropriate. Perhaps the later page should be a table of brief descriptions? — RJH 19:45, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no article here. Wyss 01:21, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to List of compounds. Megan1967 06:35, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no article there to recommend a keep. Tygar 06:40, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
• merge and redirect to List of compounds for now. Google returns 533 hits. Pubmed returns 22 hits, many of which seem relevant. It's a biological compound that is used in a large number of olfactory experiments. At some point someone who is fanatic enough might want to take the time to write a more extended article :-) Kim Bruning 23:57, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep informative substubs on chemical compounds. Or merge. Kappa 23:37, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I have made the single sentence into a real article, so there is now no question to keep it. Cacycle 21:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, now a real article. Kim Bruning 22:57, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep This is a compound of interest, with "real-world" applications, and the article now has enough content to be useful. Also it is now linked from cis-3-hexenal. Walkerma 15:19, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
