Speedy deletion nomination of HealthGrades, Inc
A tag has been placed on HealthGrades, Inc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 18:09, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

HealthGrades
The following moved from article page to user page ttonyb1 (talk) 18:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

There used to be a page here but it was deleted for copyright infringement and now the only thing I can find on the web about HealthGrades is direct quotes from that for-profit company itself. How do they get their information? On what do they base their ratings? Have there been controversies about this in the past? How do they make their money and how do they promote their services to those in the medical profession whom they want to profile? Has there ever been an outside study of HealthGrades or any information at all that can be verified by an independent source besides what comes straight from the mouths of HealthGrades? Why is there no Wikipedia page about them besides the one I just set up? (which will be deleted promptly because it's not a real article). Any ideas/information? Any other Wikipedia people feel like it might be important for information about HealthGrades that doesn't come from HealthGrades to be on the web somewhere? Isn't that what you guys do? I don't know if this will get me in trouble, I'm just trying to maybe get someone with more time than me to maybe try to figure this out. Thanks.


 * These are all wonderful questions, but I suggest you contact Health Grades for this information. What Wikipedia does is act as an online encyclopedia that gives anyone the ability to contribute to the articles.  You might want to request an article be written about the company.  If I can be of any help please let me know. ttonyb1 (talk) 18:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
