The result of the debate was redirect to Molecular nanotechnology.

This decision is without prejudice against the re-creation of an independent article at this title if it is cleaned up and expanded to address the concerns below. Rossami (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, Opinion piece, not an article. - Mgm|(talk) June 29, 2005 08:40 (UTC)
  • Redirect to nanotechnology. --RobertG ♬ talk 29 June 2005 11:11 (UTC)
  • keep, it's a legit topic, see: http://www.iscid.org/encyclopedia/Molecular_Machines I don't believe the author of this piece intended to refer to nanotechnology, but molecular machines in the natural sense - however it really does need to be written in an encyclopaedic style and fleshed out. jamesgibbon 29 June 2005 12:38 (UTC)
  • Keep, cleanup, expand. Notable concept, different from nanotech - nanotech is really, really small; molecular machines are really, really, really small. The article as posted is not all that far off, actually - when we develop the ability to make machines at the molecular level, they may be functionally indistinguishable from microorganisms. -- BD2412 talk June 29, 2005 15:57 (UTC)
    • :-/ Well, I put in a new intro line, but it needs much, much work if it is to fly. -- BD2412 talk June 29, 2005 16:03 (UTC)
  • Delete or at most merge. Topic is already extensively covered on various articles such as Molecular nanotechnology and Nanorobotics — RJH 29 June 2005 16:58 (UTC)
  • Redirect to nanotechnology or molecular nanotechnology. --Carnildo 29 June 2005 20:46 (UTC)
  • Redirect per above. I'm intrigued though — how'd the author find those diagonal dots a random guess at the numeric code?-Splash June 29, 2005 21:59 (UTC)
  • Redirect to molecular nanotechnology. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish June 30, 2005 15:14 (UTC)
  • keep, expand. Molecular machine can refer either to a nanotech device or to a naturally evolved biomolecule or biomolecular assembly. I've been to talks which refer to motor proteins as molecular machines or the ribosome as a molecular machine. Salsb 1 July 2005 20:41 (UTC)
  • Redirect. Reads like something written under the influence of either alcohol or extreme spirituality. We can give it a chance when/if someone actually manages to build such a machine. /Peter Isotalo 7 July 2005 07:06 (UTC)

Yes, it was too simple, too small. Needs more work. But does not need deletion. I am not a great writer. This issue is the GREATEST thing coming our way.

"if someone actually manages to build such a machine": This have already been done. Wakee, Wakee. That is why we NEED this NEW PAGE. The wall between nanotechnology and so-called LIVING SYSTEMS (LIFE) has already been broken through. Most of the "WALL" still stands in the way, but it's holes for seeing throw are now getting bigger. This wall is about to be completely removed very soon. Let's not be the last to know it. Repost topic with improved format, etc. We are all still learning about this. More information will soon be on the way.
