Keep - I reworked the article and removed the WP:ADVERT, a google scholarly shows that it meets WP:N and WP:V, particularly important in the drug Adderall I have re-worked the article to stub status. Medicellis (talk) 01:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a rather basic delivery mechanism used in many pharmaceuticals. Can & should be expand dfurther. DGG (talk) 02:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, verifiable and cannot easily be merged. Please merge if a good candidate can be found (e.g. a more general article on slow-release delivery systems like used for nifedipine). JFW | T@lk 08:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Sustained release, will make a good example for the more general article, but not really notable on its own. Most of the articles that mention this are about the drug formulations that use the technology, eg Carbatrol or Adderall. I'd say the drugs are notable, but there are few articles about the delivery system itself. One of the few I can find is “Gastrointestinal performance of the Microtrol extended release drug delivery technology”, P H Hirst et al., Proceed. Int'l Symp. Control. Rel. Bioact. Mater., 26(Revised Jul. 1999) Controlled Release Society, Inc. which is a particularly obscure source that I have no access to. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Tim Vickers. Good idea. NCurse _work 08:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
