Center for Integrated Primary Care[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I tagged this article for issues last year, added it to my watchlist and would peek in on it from time to time including searching for sources. Well, today, I did an in-depth search including browser searches, Google News, Books and Scholar, and didn't find any promising sources. I found the following links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. All of them mention this center in one way or another including through the director (Alexander Blount) but nothing in-depth or significant. I'll admit I'm not an academic expert so I try and stay away when I can but I personally don't see anything to keep or improve this article. If possible, I'm open to redirecting to UMass or particularly University of Massachusetts Medical School. SwisterTwister talk 18:54, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete I found literally no coverage at Google News Archive. The links found by nominator's very thorough search do not amount to significance. The article, and the mentions, don't even make it clear what kind of entity this is. It doesn't sound like a hospital, or an outpatient clinic; is it a bureaucratic or teaching entity without other facilities? Is it a department of the medical school, or a freestanding affiliate? Who knows? This title could be redirected to University of Massachusetts Medical School, but this entity doesn't currently rate a mention at that article, and a search at the UMass Medical School homepage turns up nothing, so I would not favor a redirect/merge (hard even to know what to merge given the unanswered questions). --MelanieN (talk) 17:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It's possible that the center's director, Alexander Blount, is notable even though the center itself is not. If someone wants to attempt an article about Dr. Blount, it might be a keeper. --MelanieN (talk) 17:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
