Unreferenced article of dubious notability. Recommend merging content into Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki#Survival of some structures or other related article. armagebedar (talk) 08:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rewrite. At the very least, the information in this article preserved. I'm not having a hard time finding references, and the fact that this location was the epicenter of the Hiroshima atomic bomb gives this subject a very strong claim to notability. Anyone who wants to merge may discuss that on the article's talk page. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 05:19, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Very strong keep, actually--famous building because of its role in the center of the explosion. There are sure to be multiples sources, at least in Japanese--and their article in JaWP is about triple the size of ours, with usable appropriate free illustrations. The hospital is discussed in every book about the event, see Google Books. And I learn from even the snippets there that is was in fact deliberately the target point.
