The result was merge with List of hospitals in Nepal, which has been done already, so I'm redirecting the article thereto. Sandstein 08:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Arghakhanchi Hospital

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

It is a hospital. It exists. It appears not to pass WP:N, and gets 10 google hits. I'm not sure what encyclopedic relevance this has. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, nor a directory. Incidentally, the articles linked from List of hospitals in Nepal possibly form something of a walled garden.

 * Delete. No information not contained in the list. A quick glance at some of the links suggests this is the case for most, if not all, of the articles. I would have thought they should all be deleted as they provide no more information than in the list. What is the protocol for nominating a whole group of articles? |→ Spaully₪† 20:52, 4 May 2007 (GMT)
 * Do a mass AfD. Quite easy. If the decision is to delete here, that can be used a precedent to whack the rest later on altogether. Moreschi Talk 20:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * but check first for each individual article whether it is equally suitable for deletion. It is very difficult to deal with a group where some have greater merit than the others. I would think that there might well be one notable hospital in the country--the largest, oldest, best ? DGG 04:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Quite right. Will do. Let's see if there's going to be precedent here to delete most of the rest. Moreschi Talk 08:21, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - We should wait for the person who created this article to tell us why he created those articles. I am against a mass AfD because there must be some articles there that are notable. Also you will not find much information about a hospital of Nepal on the internet. The google test wouldn't work. - Aksi_great (talk) 10:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of hospitals in Nepal. I agree with Moreschi that it does not pass WP:N individually, but the whole group might. I am in the process of merging all these hospital stubs into one list, leaving redirects.  If this hospital's notability is made evident later, the article can be recreated over the merge.

 * That sounds like a good idea, and the obvious solution. Sorry, sometimes I can't see past deletion :) Cheers, Moreschi Talk 20:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't blame you - I was close to doing the same thing! I am going to nominate Template:Hospitals of Nepal for deletion when I’m done. By then, it will be an orphan pointing only to redirects. Jaksmata 21:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 14:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge all per Jaksmata and Moreschi. Makes sense - these hospitals en masse appear to be notable as an example of health care in a nation. -- Charlene 16:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't join the call for Merge, because List of hospitals in Nepal doesn't look to me like a real encyclopedia article. If that article is ever fixed up properly, I wouldn't mind recreating this one as a redirect to the List. Since the present article has approximately zero content, little is lost via a Delete.
