 * Keep per WP:SIGCOV- just a cursory look at the sources, and they look ok. Bearian (talk) 23:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Lets look at the sources one by one.

 * * Dead Link Dead link.

 * * Optimizing Network Connectivity for Mobile Health Technologies in sub-Saharan Africa A paper written by a Dimagi employee. Doesn't establish notability.

I don't think there is sufficient references to support it. Their app works in 80 countries, so there must be some coverage. It think if it is found found notable, it should draftified until it is improved.  scope_creep Talk  09:52, 15 November 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Some discussion now of draftification, so giving this a third relist to see if a consensus can be formed.
 * Draftify per scope creep. BD2412  T 21:55, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Please see this 36-page paper by the World Bank, which could literally be used to cover all of this article in references. The paper contains 2 pages of its own references. As far as I am concerned, this resource by itself covers all concerns. Having said that, there are 980 hits when searching Google Scholar, and a number of those lead to citations referencing the subject in scholarly journals.--Concertmusic (talk) 19:48, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Concertmusic, the significant coverage is out there (even if its not in the article) based on a search of Google Scholar.  I don't personally think the article is in that bad of shape such that it needs to be moved to draft, but I also wouldn't oppose that. Regardless, I don't think it should be deleted on notability grounds.  DocFreeman24 (talk) 01:32, 2 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. per Concertmusic Rajuiu (talk) 07:44, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment That is a good reference, no doubt and if there was three of them I would be closing the nomination myself, but at the moment one reference is insufficient.  scope_creep Talk  08:50, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Adding references: WHO, Commcare, PlusCare in Journal of Adolescent Health, and NIH. There are a handful of additional articles on the National Institute of Health that make small references especially to CommCare, which seems to be the claim to fame for Dimagi - but the two (CommCare and Dimagi) are always mentioned hand-in hand.--Concertmusic (talk) 14:08, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * They're fat reports all right, no doubt. I think I'm ready to bale out. Do you fancy updating the article . I will get rid of the old references that have been identified as true junk. Nomination withdrawn   scope_creep Talk  14:48, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've taken out three dead refs + a malware page ref.   scope_creep Talk  14:56, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look in the next 1-2 days to add the sources where appropriate. Thank you!--Concertmusic (talk) 15:29, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
