This term is without of relevance[edit]

I'm really suprised about this differenciation into eicosanoids and nonclassic eicosanoids. So far I know, currently it is not common to divide like this, the term "eicosanoids" is usual to describe all the nonclassic eicosanoids as well. The references in this article underlining the relevance of "nonclassic eicosanoids" as a term, are old. So, it is confusing to use this term in wikipedia here... I attended the conference "winter eicosanoids" this month in Baltimore, and I can't remember that the term "nonclassical eicosanoid" was mentioned, despite talking about this group of compounds. So if nobody can show the current relevance of this term, this articel should be deleted. Some indications that this term was sometimes mentioned in the past, might be content for the introduction of eicosanoid. Ok? --Max schwalbe (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Nonclassic eicosanoid/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

ToDo:

Each of the nonclassic eicosanoid families listed already has its own article (except endocannabinoid, which is a section in cannabinoid)
Many of them are stubs.
First order of business is to fill out those articles,
Then summarize them here.
Import diagrams of some of the representative eicosanoids.
