Keep. ISO standards have a large effect on the products we use and are well-covered by articles in the technical literature. This one could use some independent sources. We cover ISO/IEEE standards extensively; see Category:ISO standards and Template:ISO standards. There is also ISO/IEEE 11073 and IEEE 11073 service-oriented device connectivity, which has appropriate sources. StarryGrandma (talk) 18:52, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as @StarryGrandma says, these standards are important and have a significant impact on industry. That's especially true in a field like personal health devices. Questions of how to implement ISO 11073 have been the subject of entire academic articles. For example:

Consideration of the generated network utilization of the IEEE 11073 SDC standard, Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 8 Issue 2 (2022)
Applying the ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards to Wearable Home Health Monitoring Systems, Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing (2005) 19: 427–436 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-005-2033-7 (cited in article).
Integration of a surgical robotic arm to the connected operating room via ISO IEEE 11073, SDC Wickel, Noah ; Vossel, Manuel ; Yilmaz, Okan ; Radermacher, Klaus ; Janß, Armin, International journal for computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2023, Vol.18 (9), p.1639-1648

It is disheartening to see an article this well developed nominated for deletion, apparently based solely on some editor's decision to add a notability tag 13 years ago. No support given for the claim that it "Fails GNG". In fact, a simple google scholar search (mandated by WP:BEFORE) shows hundreds of articles entirely devoted to this standard. Admittedly many are from IEEE, but all it takes is a it of additional searching/filtering to find independent sources. Per WP:NEXISTS that should be enough to avoid an AfD. No indication is given by @UtherSRG as to why no acceptable sources exist. Oblivy (talk) 07:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This topic looks to be very widely and deeply covered in the academic literature at least, just from a few minutes of clicking around here. I think that taking your pick of any pair of sources there establishes GNG. - Astrophobe (talk) 02:45, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
