Moved from draft space

@Winged Blades of Godric: Hi, since you rejected the original AfC submission at Draft:DKMS, just letting you know that it's been moved to mainspace regardless, outside of the AfC process. -- intgr [talk] 11:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not outside the AfC process - I'm a very active AfC reviewer and I accepted it based on notability. I also cleaned up some somewhat promotional language, though it was not too bad. It would be very hard to find anything negative to say about a bone marrow matching charity. Legacypac (talk) 11:54, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, sorry, bad assumption on my part, I did not realize you are involved with AfC reviewing yourself. -- intgr [talk] 12:05, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are quite a few other pages that mention DKMS or Delete Blood Cancer (old name) that should be linked to this page. Legacypac (talk) 11:54, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

registered donor data

Aa I worked on this i was trying to sort out if DKMS maintains its own database if they simply work to get people registered in the national database of whatever country they are working in. I think it is the latter but some refs talk about them like they do have their own database ( eg. this one says "Heute ist die DKMS mit 2 077 469 registrierten Spendern die größte Stammzellenspenderdatei weltweit. " which google translate passably renders as "Today DKMS is the largest stem cell donor database in the world with 2,077,469 registered donors. "). If they do keep their own is unclear how it fits with the national ones.. I have not found a ref that talks about this seriously and carefully. We need refs in order to be able to discuss it in this article. Jytdog (talk) 00:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
