AfD relisted per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 April 12. --PeaceNT (talk) 14:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unsourced article that reads like a press release, and is POV towards making the company look good. Also it has notability issues βcommand 19:07, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, but revise to sound less like and advertisement and add additional sources (I typed in the phrase on dogpile.com and it seems that it gets more than just a couple hits). Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 17:46, 27 September 2007 (UTC
- Delete Advertisement! There is no background information or research about the topic. References only point to the company's page or friendly sites. Text is generic and marketing slang e.g.: "The EDTFs survey job functions and practices in various specialties [...]" or "ARDMS is the only sonography certification organization to be accredited by the International Organization of Standards"
- Keep, this organization is notable because medical proffessionals in the United States can not legally practice Diagnostic Medical Sonograph without being licenced through this organization. The article needs to be re-written but the organization is definitely notable.Insearchofintelligentlife (talk) 03:24, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. has some notability around the practice of "keepsake ultrasounds" ... there are several articles (I posted an initial external link to a Seattle PI article) that discusses/refers to their credentialing. The article also needs some heavy pruning; I think it reads less like an ad and more like trying to find something to say in order to fill up the white space.

- Delete due to failing to meet WP:ORG. If it wasn't for the Keep votes above I would have speedied this under CSD:A7 by now. Stifle (talk) 14:49, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite. Seems to meet WP:ORG if it is an important licensing organization.Divinediscourse (talk) 20:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite per Google News hits [1]. --SmashvilleBONK! 13:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Needs to be rewritten for WP:NPOV, not deleted. Plvekamp (talk) 18:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. Article not showing subject meeting WP:CORP and not having sufficient independent coverage sources. If this article is to kept, it needs a complete rewrite to part the Red(link) Sea. The comments above mentioning that the article reads like an advertisement are quite valid. B.Wind (talk) 04:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
