The result was delete. The relevant material has been merged to voltage-gated ion channel, no valuable information will be lost by deleting this, and it's been tagged as a copyvio anyway. It's an unlikely redirect, too, but I have no objection if the title is resurrected as a redirect. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 05:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
This page is redundant with the existing page Voltage-gated ion channel. It is basically a copy of an external web page that is CC By-SA3, and seems to be promoting that website. Although the protein classification scheme that is the main point of the page is sourced, there are other recognized bases for classification, and no reliably sourced reason to give this one special prominence here. The main points of the page are already covered at Voltage-gated ion channel#Nomenclature, with, if anything, more than enough due weight. I have already merged all the material that is worth merging into the existing page: [1]. The page name is not useful as a redirect, and I already edited the VIC dab page for the abbreviation: [2]. Beyond that, I do not see anything else worth saving, and there is no point in keeping a content fork. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 00:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Tryptofish If you'd like to merge the VIC family page with the the general voltage-gated ion channel page, I think the VIC family deserves to be distinguished. Perhaps making a seperate section that describes the VIC family. I want to point out that not all voltage-gated ion channels fall under the Voltage-gated ion channel superfamily or family, thus part of my reasoning for making the family page a entity. So far, it appears as though there has been no further merger of information from the VIC family page to the general voltage-gated ion channel page, contrary to your initial assertion. In fact, I noticed that you reverted several edits I made to [4], including content related, spelling, and grammatical errors I corrected. For example, "Upon depolarization, the positively-charged residues on the S4 domains toward the exoplasmic surface of the membrane." is not a complete sentence, and "exracellular" needs a "T", etc.. This revert included changing a correction I made to distinguish the VIC superfamily from the VIC family, where TC# 1.A.1, the most important of the families under the VIC superfamily should have been included in the list. It seems as though you may be confused about the phylogeny of the VIC superfamily. As mentioned in the VIC family (the one recommended for deletion here), the current VIC family (formerly called the VIC superfamily, due to the subfamilies that fall under it) now falls under an expanded superfamily, the VIC superfamily, that includes families 1.A.1,3,4,5,10,17, 2.A.36, 2.A.38. However, I don't want to stand in the way If it is the consensus that the pages be merged. Still, I do believe that the original page ( [5]) would then need to be updated and have a section dedicated to the VIC family, as is the case with all other families that fall under the VIC superfamily.
