 * Delete. Notability not demonstrated. The assertion that the subject "has caused nothing but controversy, worldwide" has yet to be supported by any references. I looked through the Stellenbosch University reference (http://stbweb02.stb.sun.ac.za/urdr/downloads/Elsiesrivier.pdf) and it is a general reference on the location; I do not see the subject or its founder mentioned anywhere in that source.

 * Strong Delete There's no indication of notability and no independent sources. Actually, the only source listed under references is the paper mentioned by Janggeom and I found no mention of this system in that paper.  There is nothing in the article that appears to have independent verification. Mdtemp (talk) 18:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - After searches, not finding coverage in reliable sources for this topic. Therefore, the topic appears to fail WP:GNG. This source in the article does not cover the topic: ElsiesRiver Transformation Research Project. Northamerica1000(talk) 17:32, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
