I'm unsure of the need for a separate article on an acronym which offers nothing more than a few lines of basic non-encyclopedic synthesis. Could be covered in
Autophagy instead.

Delete First off, it's not even an acronym. Second, a search for ATG leads to a disambig page that has listings for
autophagy and autophagy-related genes and proteins, which seems much more specific than anything this page offers. Third, as the nom said, the article is essentially about the use of the "ATG" shorthand in biology, which isn't anything that can't be mentioned in a half-sentence in the gene or autophagy articles.

Rename It is certainly not an acronym, but that was the first thing that popped into my head when I was struggling to create this page. "ATG (abbreviation)" would be better, but I am open to other suggestions. I frequently have found the abbreviation ATG commonly used in autophagy literature meaning "autophagy-related" referring to genes
Regulation of autophagy gene expression or to proteins
Autophagy and innate immunity or both. I modified the
ATG disambiguation page
to reflect that fact. The
ATG (autophagy acronym) gave the disambiguation page a Wikipedia page to go to for verification and peer-reviewed literature examples, whereas formerly there was none. My modification of the ATG disambiguation page improves the situation, but I think Wikipedia should have a page justifying and giving examples of the abbreviation "ATG-related" which can be confusing in the autophagy scientific literature, especially when it is not explained in an encyclopedic source. --

Merge with
Autophagy. Anything that's autophagy-related is probably already mentioned in its article, so the content in this article should be moved to a new section of the autophagy article to clarify how the names of genes and proteins are related to it. Afterwards, this page should be kept as a redirect.

Comment I've created an adjective part-of-speech entry at
wikt:ATG which includes the meaning and one of the citations from the wikipedia article. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me)
