While "Body Adiposity Index" is a real thing, as confirmed by a Google search, the article is written as a vanity piece, with references to people who seem to have no significant connection to the subject. Lampman (talk) 11:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If anyone should bother to try save the article, here's a good start:. Lampman (talk) 11:15, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

 * AFD is not CLEANUP: If it can be salvaged by editing (and it looks like a good start has been made in that direction, by removing the oddities), then you should withdraw the nomination.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The term finds some use in scientific writing per Google Scholar. It is currently a stub, not a vanity piece, and as such there is no reason to delete it - since it does seem to be a concept that is being used in the field. --MelanieN (talk) 01:15, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep of course. Why should we delete useful articles? I wanted to know what BAI was, and luckily there was an article on it. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 16:02, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia was the first place I looked when I wanted to know how to calculate BAI. It would have been disappointing had this page not been there. --catslash (talk) 13:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
