 * Keep I think this article has a place here, possibly under another name. It is basically a well referenced expansion of this page from the CDC. Maybe it could be merged to Public health but that article is already long. It apparently passed Articles for Creation. --MelanieN (talk) 02:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment It may be well-referenced but it isn't encyclopedic at all, the article is basically an essay on how health organizations should operate and therefore a case of WP:NOTESSAY as well as WP:NOTMANUAL --BigPimpinBrah (talk) 03:15, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Move and rewrite A better title would be something like Public health services, and a rewrite is needed to eliminate the extensive government jargon and over specific examples. e.g.  " educational activities that promote improved health should be disseminated"  DGG ( talk ) 01:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Question Based upon the creator ID, this appears to be a group paper for a healthcare policy and management course; does the submission of a group's work under a single ID make this a copyright/licensing issue? Novangelis (talk) 18:34, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Edit and Merge The level of detail is much too great, border on violating WP:NOT PAPERS. Edit it significantly perhaps to include just the names of the 10 services, and merge into Center for Disease Control and Prevention.--Crunch (talk) 12:57, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The section with the expanded list of services and a selected example of each is not appropriate content. Stripped of the examples, and reformatted as a list with explanations, the expanded list might have value, depending on the merge target. Most targets I can think of do not warrant the expanded content. (I am reluctant to expend time hunt if the above copyleft issues are unresolved.) The history section might have value in an appropriate target, but would be overly weighted for the CDC article (which is in dismal shape, IMHO). The "Public health" article describes the functions in terms of the WHO model (Public health), so in addition to length issues, integrating a different model defining public health functions by a simple merge would be problematic. I looked at the United States Public Health Service as an alternate target since the CDC is one of its agencies, but it didn't fit there, especially since IOM is not under its purview. At the moment, a section, "National Public Health Performance Standards Program" in the CDC article does seem the best target, by default.Novangelis (talk) 15:25, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep It may not be perfect, but it is fixable. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 11:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Incubate or userfy (to whom I don't know). Right now this is not an encyclopedic entry (WP:NOT PAPERS) but with revision it could become one or possibly some selective merging into suitable topics. Let's move it out of main-space and let any interested parties take a swing at it. J04n(talk page) 11:01, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
