Delete no WP:RS, fails WP:N.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 08:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep. Article asserts notability (65,000 members).  A search shows hits of currently active chapters in several cities (for example, Kansas City chapter has a full calendar of events for 2008). JamesMLane t c 11:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - While possibly important due to the national and international scope, actual Notability isn't shown by way of independent sources about the organization. What i found is mostly press releases. The article is orphaned, so maybe this should just be mentioned at Medical coder, the stub article about the profession related to Medical classification. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article is grossly inadequate. However, medical coding, although stupefyingly uninteresting even to most of those who must deal with it, is importnat in high-profile controversies, particularly with regard to disputes between health care consumers and insurers who dispute liability for services, but also with regard to service outsourcing. This credentialing organization apparently exists and has a significant membership. What remains are legitimate criticisms of article quality, which call for further work on, not removal of, the article. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 22:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
