We do not need an article on each clinical trial ever conducted. This trial has made a limited impact on the prevention of breast cancer, and the results should be discussed in the context of other modalities, not in a separate article. Delete. JFW | T@lk 06:52, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I agree that Wikipedia should not have an article on every trial. I have searched for references and added a few. I believe that at least one of them (Wickerham, abc News) could be regarded as a third-party reliable source that establishes notability. Axl ¤ [Talk] 16:12, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This "STAR" study got massive coverage in national reliable sources [1] - New York Times, USA Today, etc. I added several of these references to the article. --MelanieN (talk) 02:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep in light of improvements since the Afd was opened, appears to be a very notable study. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Per sourcing added to the article, topic passes WP:GNG. See references section in the article; the ABC News, USA Today and Business Week articles cover this topic directly. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep we do need an article on any study that get's this level of reliable source coverage that makes it independently notable of any other modality or article.LuciferWildCat (talk) 22:28, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article says "One of the largest breast cancer prevention studies ever,[2] it included 22,000 women in 400 medical centers in the United States and Canada.[3][4][5]" That sounds pretty notable to me. Dream Focus 21:06, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
