Probably fails WP:GNG. It's mentioned in a few studies about motifs and the viruses that have it, but only seems to be a major part of one primary source (the one used in the article). When comparing this motif to others, most of the motifs in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Protein_structural_motifs are much broader in scope than the YGL motif and have been the subject of far more research than the YGL motif. Google search returns 15 (filtered) results, 3 of which (20%) are to Wikipedia. Google Scholar just ten results. Velayinosu (talk) 02:09, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't have enough experience in molecular biology AfDs to assess whether the coverage is significant, but here are the three best sources I found: the one used in the article, this open-access source, and this paywalled source. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 05:05, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Merge to Short linear motif. The information here isn't enough for an article, and a primary publication in an MDPI journal isn't enough for notability. But the review article cited by the last user is something (albeit only a little). This could be added as a single-sentence example under Short linear motif#Role in disease, with the citation replaced by a secondary source. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:20, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
