Delete. Notability not demonstrated. The assertion that the subject "has caused nothing but controversy, worldwide" has yet to be supported by any references. I looked through the Stellenbosch University reference (http://stbweb02.stb.sun.ac.za/urdr/downloads/Elsiesrivier.pdf) and it is a general reference on the location; I do not see the subject or its founder mentioned anywhere in that source.

Strong Delete There's no indication of notability and no independent sources. Actually, the only source listed under references is the paper mentioned by Janggeom and I found no mention of this system in that paper. There is nothing in the article that appears to have independent verification. Mdtemp (talk) 18:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - After searches, not finding coverage in reliable sources for this topic. Therefore, the topic appears to fail WP:GNG. This source in the article does not cover the topic: ElsiesRiver Transformation Research Project. Northamerica1000^(talk) 17:32, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
