Original research[edit]
This table appears to be entirely original research. Dougweller (talk) 08:21, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
- Not at all. It merely cross-references differing nomenclature over the years for the same Y chromosome haplogroups and their subclades. ISOGG's Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree has been cited by dozens of peer-reviewed scientific papers. That's one of the explicitly mentioned criteria in the WP:SCHOLARSHIP policy.

This article is based on the 2002 Y Chromosome Consortium article entitled A Nomenclature System for the Tree of Human Y-Chromosomal Binary Haplogroups and reports the adjustments/modifications done since then. And without such a conversion article about the difference between the long hand and short hand reporting of YCC haplogroups, one would be easily confused. Jrcrin001 (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
