Non notable hospital, can't find anything to improve/expand beyond stub Mattg82 (talk) 22:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless good sources can be found. ~~I found a few articles mentioning it, [1], [2],~~ nothing covering it in detail, however. And there's not really any information on the page to be merged anywhere. Cazort (talk) 23:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update, those sources are not about this hospital, they're about a swiss hospital by the same name. Cazort (talk) 20:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Harmless stub. If the stub is kept, someone with access to better references will eventually expand the article. -- Eastmain (talk) 19:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This should be a separate AfD. -- Eastmain (talk) 19:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Eastmain about that needing to be considered in a separate AfD. However, I have a question for Eastmain: What are your grounds for establishing notability? The stub being "harmless" is not grounds for keeping it. In the absence of finding sources, I think you would need to provide a compelling argument that sources most likely exist. The "sources" I thought I had found mentioning the hospital actually were referring to a Swiss hospital by the same name. I can't even find record that this place exists. Cazort (talk) 20:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I fully agree with User:Eastmain's sentiments, but on a more policy basis, most hospitals in the US are probably notable because of the media coverage they receive. At this time, we don't even know the size of the Riaz Hospital, but it would be unfortunate if it's really deserving of an article, but will be deleted only because there are relatively few editors that can utilize Pakistani-language sources.--Pink Bull 04:43, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete I can't find any information giving anything other than the information that's already in the article. Hut 8.5 11:34, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge both articles to the article about the cities that the hospitals are in. In my opinion, there is no such thing as a harmless stub. I have zero respect for people whose contribution to Wikipedia is to make lots of one sentence stubs that they will never revisit. Of course, inherently notable topics are permitted to exist as nothing more than a stub. Hospitals, however, are not inherently notable. Mandsford (talk) 17:20, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
