"Note further that searches using Google's specialty tools, such as Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google News, are more likely to return reliable sources that can be useful in improving articles than the default Google web search." Which is what I did. Furius (talk) 01:59, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No assertion of notability, so fails WP:GNG. Fully unsourced. UtherSRG (talk) 01:13, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let's do this again, then. IMAS is the main social welfare agency in the Costa Rica. Here is its Spanish wikipedia page, which is long and cites sixteen sources [2]. Here is a newspaper article in La Nacion about the dismissal of the IMAS president in 2002, Here is an article reporting the comments of their president about government policy, Here is an article about the resignation of the IMAS president in 2007, Here is an article from 2007 reporting on changes made by the institution to child welfare allowances, here is an article about the appointment of a new president in 2016. From the last month or so here is a story about a funding decision made by IMAS, here is a story about changes to IMAS subsidies in response to inflation, and here is another story about that. It's discussed on pages 103-104 of this book on the government of Costa Rica, in several places in this book on poverty reduction, on pg. 57 on this book on Costa Rican politics, is the subject of this academic article, and this one. GNG is well and truly met. Furius (talk) 01:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Final relist. It would be great if some of these sources found their way into the article.
