The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge with List of hospitals in Nepal, which has been done already, so I'm redirecting the article thereto. Sandstein 08:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arghakhanchi Hospital

It is a hospital. It exists. It appears not to pass WP:N, and gets 10 google hits. I'm not sure what encyclopedic relevance this has. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, nor a directory. Incidentally, the articles linked from List of hospitals in Nepal possibly form something of a walled garden.

Delete. No information not contained in the list. A quick glance at some of the links suggests this is the case for most, if not all, of the articles. I would have thought they should all be deleted as they provide no more information than in the list. What is the protocol for nominating a whole group of articles? |→ Spaully^₪† 20:52, 4 May 2007 (GMT)
- Do a mass AfD. Quite easy. If the decision is to delete here, that can be used a precedent to whack the rest later on altogether. Moreschi ^Talk 20:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

but check first for each individual article whether it is equally suitable for deletion. It is very difficult to deal with a group where some have greater merit than the others. I would think that there might well be one notable hospital in the country--the largest, oldest, best ? DGG 04:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. Will do. Let's see if there's going to be precedent here to delete most of the rest. Moreschi ^Talk 08:21, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - We should wait for the person who created this article to tell us why he created those articles. I am against a mass AfD because there must be some articles there that are notable. Also you will not find much information about a hospital of Nepal on the internet. The google test wouldn't work. - Aksi_great (talk) 10:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with List of hospitals in Nepal. I agree with Moreschi that it does not pass WP:N individually, but the whole group might. I am in the process of merging all these hospital stubs into one list, leaving redirects. If this hospital's notability is made evident later, the article can be recreated over the merge.

- That sounds like a good idea, and the obvious solution. Sorry, sometimes I can't see past deletion :) Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 20:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't blame you - I was close to doing the same thing! I am going to nominate Template:Hospitals of Nepal for deletion when I’m done. By then, it will be an orphan pointing only to redirects. Jaksmata 21:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

Merge all per Jaksmata and Moreschi. Makes sense - these hospitals en masse appear to be notable as an example of health care in a nation. --Charlene 16:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't join the call for Merge, because List of hospitals in Nepal doesn't look to me like a real encyclopedia article. If that article is ever fixed up properly, I wouldn't mind recreating this one as a redirect to the List. Since the present article has approximately zero content, little is lost via a Delete.
