Not notable. The refs are all first party ones except for one press release and one that briefly mentions the models. Other than that no indication of notability. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 15:24, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I believe that this article deals with an important topic, but its content needs to be strengthened. I see that its creator plans to strengthen it, so I suggest he is given time to do so. Regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 16:48, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep A Google Books search for ASSA AIDS model turns up various publications discussing or using the model, so it seems reasonable to expect that this article can be improved through normal editing. AllyD (talk) 22:16, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- A google search does not establish notability: see WP:GOOGLEHITS. It can be used to find reliable sources but they need to be found, in particular the ones which provide significant coverage of the topic as required for general notability.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 00:35, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that I specifically pointed not to Google Search, but to Google Books and to coverage of this specific actuarial model. See for example [1] from that page for the use of the model in SA govt decision making. AllyD (talk) 07:00, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The fact that a joint task team of the National Department of Health and the Treasury used the ASSA model convinces me even more of its notability. George Custer's Sabre (talk) 07:24, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Article has been improved since nomination by GorgeCustersSabre and again by myself. Although a couple of the independent sources are brief mentions, the International Monetary Fund publication is such a thorough examination of this actuarial model, I found more material for the article in it.
