Keep - it's a healthcare certification body. The article was created just a few days ago and the nominator feels it might have some notability so per WP:AFD#Before nominating an AfD, it really ought to be tagged with {{unref}} to give it a chance for improvement instead of bringing it to AFD. -- Whpq (talk) 16:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep for now. Professional certification bodies are generally notable but I had a look for sources when first nominated but couldn't find much. I agree it needs more time. However, if it isn't sourced up in a few months I would have no problem with it coming back here. TerriersFan (talk) 19:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[]

Very weak keep - but needs a lot of work. It should be noted that the creator of the article is an employee of the association (I've templated him about COI). --Orange Mike | Talk 14:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[]

Requesting Keep I am only trying to add the page for National Healthcareer Association to Wikipedia as another way for information to be found about NHA. The organization I work for recognizes the use of wikipedia at many of the schools and organizations we work with, and many schools we work with have their students research topics through wikipedia. If I am in any wrong doing, please let me know, I have edited the information on the page for National Certification in general, and have linked some internal links as well...I am not trying to make this an advertisement, I would just like to have the basic information about NHA, and National Certification for the allied health care field.--Craigbrower (talk) 19:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[]

Comment - If you could provide links to coverage in reliable sources, it would really help the case to keep the article. For example, an article written about the association in health care trade journal or magazine would help towards establishing notability. -- Whpq (talk) 20:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[]

Comment - I have revised the page, and added citations and links. I do not know if they are set up correctly. Please advise what more needs to be done --Craigbrower (talk) 20:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[]

response to comment - I've got to undo a lot of these edits, since they user marketing-style language ("allied healthcare" rather than simply "healthcare"; inappropriate capitalization; etc.). You should study our Manual of Style. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:35, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[]
