Proposed merge with Alloderm

Not sufficiently notable per se. The sources declare what brand of ECM was used because they have to, as medical journals. This does not amount to independent notability. Dubbin^{u | t | c} 22:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Dubbin I contend that alloderm is notable as it is a specific type of ECM used for specific purposes (and i am sure that it has specfic advantages and disadvantages and differences versus other types of ecms). Just as sprite is a specific brand of soda made by coca cola but is not merged in to the general soda article. This content should be allowed to stand on its own. Please allow other editors time to build their articles and please note that i did not interfere your previous edits on this article. Respectfully Ensadvocate (talk) 07:32, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The only relevant consideration is whether it has sufficient independent notability, confirmed by suitable external sources, to justify its own page as opposed to a mention (that would include any truly distinct uses) on the ECM page. As presented, it doesn't and you will need to advance evidence if you want it to remain. Dubbin^{u | t | c} 07:38, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

• support in general we have articles on the generic thing and only have articles on specific brands when there is something notable about that brand. So most brand names for acetaminophen redirect to the rest-of-the-world generic name Paracetamol; we do have an article on Tylenol as it is notable due to the cyanide poisoning and the work J&J around the brand. But we don't have articles on the other brands of paracetamol. Jytdog (talk) 07:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
