This article has existed without citing sources or references for over two years. That is too long, so it is time to have the article deleted. Onthegogo (talk) 22:39, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Numerous textbooks and journals devoted to the subject. Clearly notable. --Chris Johnson (talk) 02:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Medicine-related deletion discussions. —Chris Johnson (talk) 02:32, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep: Sourcing problems are not a reason to delete. Notability, BLP issues, etc. are. Also as above, there appear to be sources. AfD is not for easy ways out. - BalthCat (talk) 03:49, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. Clearly notable and sourceable. (As an aside, the article Algology should be merged with this one.)Sjö (talk) 13:28, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. Manifestly worthy subject. Even if the current article poorly serves it, there is no deadline. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:12, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. A nice summary subject. Most of the information is so general it would not need references. - MeekMark (talk) 15:55, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Speedily keep. Clearly an important subject. Boghog (talk) 20:24, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep just because an article is no good is not a reason to delete it. The editors who go around adding these tags should improve some article.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:39, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep - The article looks good, and the subject is obviously important and notable. Although a very poor article can be a reason for deletion, this one's far from that. Shadowjams (talk) 08:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with the above. Sources exist - and, when this is Kept, they should be added as inline cites to specific facts. But that's not an issue that falls under AFD. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 17:58, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep The nomination blatantly violates our deletion process. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
