Delete

 * 1) Not missional.Castaigne (talk) 20:37, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed not missional Bubba41102Taste the shortness 20:39, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) No thanks. It was an uphill struggle to reduce the number of "pure science" articles last time round. This has no relevance to the mission. Bicycle  wheel silverbrain.png 20:46, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) seems like missional elements exist. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 20:44, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) I seem to be counsel for the devil today. Nonetheless it can be made missional w.r.t anti-oxidant crazes, endosymbiosis, and probably more, and a general overview wouldn't be a bad thing to have on the page also. 20:45, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) Agree, could be topical. For instance The rebranding of autism by antivaccinationists as a mitochondrial disorder, Mitochondrial Eve, etc. Also I did a search for "mitochondrial woo" but only found research by DK Woo on the subject. Keep it up, Dr. Woo. --SpecialFFrog (talk) 20:50, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Could be made missional. Like horizontal gene transfer, understanding the origins of mitochondria can play a part in debunking simplistic creationist views of genetics. CamelCasePragmatist (talk) 20:59, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) Mitochondria woo is a real thing, and I don't see a page on that. The woo is so powerful that it causes fictional New York cops to forget the plot when they go to a sequel. That's just awful.  21:03, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * If it were an article focusing on mitochondria woo, I'd support it. But for just an article about mitochondria, just go to Wikipedia. --Castaigne (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Your command is my wish, sir. Allow some time, perchance, that it may be set upon the course you seek? 21:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * (In Picard voice) Bake it so. --Castaigne (talk) 22:15, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm saying that we should make it about the woo. Mine's a "keep and change" vote. 22:14, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Missional. Merge with the userspace article. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 21:11, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) There's plenty of interesting stuff to be said about mitochondria. Not super-missional at the moment, but it's a fresh new article, let's give it some time. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 21:49, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * As noted below, the article already exists. CorruptUser (talk) 21:57, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Mitochondrion is a redirect to a userspace version, which is less about woo/IDiots/c. than mitochondria, but there's probably some stuff to use in both. 22:00, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) What the above people said. Carpetsmoker (talk) 22:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) This is the deciding vote. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 17:23, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Goat

 * 1) Might be good to have a section somewhere as part of a cancer or genetics page, not sure if it deserves its own page. CorruptUser (talk) 20:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Should possibly live at mitochondrion. 20:57, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh hey look what's there! 21:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
