 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
 * Perhaps they are different organizations but Aresa is often referred to as Aresa Biodetection in the press rather that the ARESA used here, that may be what is holding up others finding sources like this:


 * Watercress engineered to detect land mines (USA Today)
 * Biotech to help clear the curse of landmines (The Hindu)
 * Land-Mine-Detecting Plants (New York Times)
 * Saving Lives And Limbs With a Weed (Time)
 * GM cress could seek out landmines (BBC)
 * GM plant tracks land mines (The Gaurdian)
 * New weed may flag land mines (Christian Science Monitor)
 * Animal Heros (PBS)
 * The above list doesn't include the AP and Reuters stories that picked up in a number of languages around the world. The article didn't make this claim of notability and might be talking about something different.  I've updated the article to reflect this use of the name and agree that whatever was there before, likely wasn't notable.  I'd recommend keeping the article in the form I just edited and moving to Aresa Biodetection.


 * Delete. I'm with LibStar on this one, I've found bopkes.  RadioFan, Bearian, could you please link to your findings?  I may be doing it wrong.... -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 07:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Change !vote to keep per Bearian's findings. Thanks, man. =) -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 15:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - see above cites, which is pretty much what I found. It has three good sources now from major international periodicals. Bearian (talk) 00:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, good enough. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 15:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
