Uganda Program on Cancer and Infectious Diseases

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

So this is a true for discussion as I'm not sure how to best handle this article from the 2010 backlog. I can find no sourcing beyond confirmation that the program existed and operated for several years. I contemplated a merger to Makerere University but the medical school that houses this program is not mentioned there. Uganda Cancer Institute is a possible redirect, but it's a joint venture (or was, unclear if it's still operational, website is now selling aromatherapies). It's not mentioned at Mulago_National_Specialised_Hospital, although UCI is mentioned there but noted as separate. Thoughts? Ideas? A merger could be done wouldn't be super helpful as there's nothing to merge beyond its existence. Star  Mississippi  03:10, 14 May 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment I've added some citations that confirm some of the facts that needed citations, and suggest notability, I need to reflect if they confirm it, the mentions could be too brief. I thought I had hit jackpot here but the authors are affiliated and it's not peer reviewed, nonetheless it's published by Harvard so I don't fully discount it. "Closing the Cancer Divide: An Equity Imperative. (2012). United Kingdom: Harvard University Press." clearly talks about the centre in chapter 6, but I can't get access. There does appear to be substantial coverage here https://www.augustachronicle.com/story/lifestyle/2009/10/27/liv-553349-shtml/14619484007/ and here https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/report/93905/uganda-new-facility-concentrate-cancer CT55555 (talk) 15:47, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Leaning keep based on:
 * 1) The sources I've added and mentioned above
 * 2) Admittedly some WP:LIKE combined with some desire to see wikipedia having better coverage of issues like cancer care in Uganda, which I value, compared to a lot of the popular culture articles that seem overall to prevalent, but of course my personal views on that should probably be discounted, please forgive the rant.

 * Weak keep based on the sourcing. I've seen much worse. Bearian (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
