Independent sources?
I tagged this article for lacking third party sources, since every nearly citation given is from the CDC and other government agencies themselves, per
WP:SPS. I was able to find only one substantive source that mentions the Buy Quiet program in passing, which I added to Further Reading. Other than that, you might not even know Buy Quiet existed. Without third party sources, this article would likely fail the
Notability guidelines, and would need to be deleted or redirected to the EPA or NIOSH article. Having an entire article about an EPA program that is sourced entirely to EPA, CDC and NIOSH sources is essentially hosting a press release. --

Then file it for deletion or find more independent sources to add. Drive-by tagging is pointless.

CFCF, your repeated personal attacks need to stop. I did a significant amount of research trying to find any independent sources myself. As evidence of that I added the one and only independent source I could find, and it barely mentions "Buy Quiet". You could have accused me of lazy drive by tagging if you yourself researched the subject and found independent sources, but they don't exist.
Instead of immediately tagging this for speedy deletion as unambiguous advertising and promotion, I did the courtesy of tagging it for maintenance in case others wished to try to save the article by finding sources. That is one of the purposes of maintenance tags. But you'd rather edit war. Fine, then let's delete it. --
