Upstream versus retail: is this the same kind of article?Resolved

This organisation sells amino acid derivatives, resins and custom synthesis to laboratories. The other nineteen articles are about entities selling finished vials. Grouping all twenty as "peptide suppliers" flattens a distinction that matters to a reader. CDMO_Caradoc (talk) 10:07, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

The category tree already has Category:Contract manufacturers as a subcategory of Category:Peptide suppliers, which is exactly this distinction. This article should sit in both; the retail entities in the parent only. ParentCatPansy (talk) 14:33, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Support, and the first sentence should make the position explicit — "upstream of", or "supplier to the sector rather than a retailer within it". A reader who does not grasp that will misread the whole article, and the ordering section in particular. ScopeSeverin (talk) 09:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Categorisation fixed, framing sentence added to the lead, and §Ordering and availability written to laboratory-supply conventions rather than retail ones. ✓ Resolved CDMO_Caradoc (talk) 11:48, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Resolved. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.
