Center for Enhancing Activity and Participation among Persons with Arthritis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Actual notability not established. We don't currently include articles on research institutes unless independently notable. JFW &#124; T@lk  20:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Center is the only arthritis research center funded by NIDRR and is expected to shape the future of arthritis research. I am article creator. Stuwhite23 (talk) 21:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.  Cind. amuse  03:48, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 14:36, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree that actual notability is not yet established, but it is a new center which was funded specifically to lead the field in arthritis research and shape public policy, thus will become notable. The article provides valuable insight into the intentions of the major funder of arthritis rehabilitation (NIDRR) in the USA - which implies notability. I could, however, move the article to userspace until independent sources are available. Stuwhite23 (talk) 17:29, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - Stuwhite23 has conceded that notability has not yet been established. And its importance is based on it being "expected to shape the future of arthritis research" which has yet to happen. Simply agreeing with him doesn't advance a very strong argument for kweeping this article. -- Whpq (talk) 20:47, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
