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#Mulago_Hospital_Complex, 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)[reply]

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 I thought I had hit jackpot here but the authors are affiliated and it's not peer reviewed, nonetheless it's published by Harvard so I don't fully discount it.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)[reply]
Leaning keep based on:

The sources I've added and mentioned above
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 [[WP:RS}|sourcing]]. I've seen much worse. Bearian (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
