Talk:WuXi TIDES / Archive 1

This article should exist — the organisation meets criteria 1, 2, 3 and 5 of Project:Vendor notability comfortably, on registry identity, operating history, an independent testing record and a describable documentation practice.

The problem is the name. "WuXi" is a toponym shared with much larger and entirely unrelated contract-research organisations. An article that does not address that will be read as being about one of them, and an article that addresses it badly will read as an insinuation. — — NPOV_Nadia (talk) 10:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

The neutral formulation is the factual one: state that the name shares a toponym, state that no source available to us establishes a corporate relationship, and state that none should be inferred. That is three clauses and it closes the question without asserting anything we cannot support. — — Hedgerow_Hal (talk) 13:47, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Written into §Corporate identity and history in close to those words. — — NPOV_Nadia (talk) 09:14, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Support. I would add that the oligonucleotide listings are the genuinely distinguishing fact here and deserve a sentence, since they are what makes this organisation not simply another entry in a long list. — — ScopeSeverin (talk) 11:31, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Added, with the caveat that we cannot tell in-house capability from brokerage. ✓ Done — — Chromatokid (talk) 08:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
