Talk:Windber Research Institute

Expert review
''This review has been announced on the talk page of WikiProject Medicine. Comments should be added on this page, below.''

As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether this topic is notable enough to have its own article. The article does not cite any independent sources, so it seems by that the institute is not notable per WP:ORG. Can you tell me whether relevant independent coverage can be found, and so the article should be kept, or whether it should rather be removed?

Your opinions are welcome; please add your comments below. --B. Wolterding 17:50, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * There is very little on google except their own promotional material. I don't have an expert opinion but it seems non notable to me. Maybe it could be prodded. You could try a speedy, but I'm guessing that would be denied. --Stormbay 22:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I consider this article unimportant, but I will point out in its favor that it's a tissue bank with a lot of samples, and it's connected to a major U.S. research hospital. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Tags
Since it appears that the only question for the experts was notability, and that this has already been discussed, I removed the expert tag. I also removed the clean up and advertising tags, because they don't really seem relevant. I'm not saying that this is a perfect stub, just that the threshold of sufficient copyediting is quite a bit lower for an eight-sentence stub than it is for a well-developed eight-page article.
