 * Keep – The topic passes WP:GNG, as evidenced by Google Scholar results alone. Searches and custom searches in Google Books provide plenty more sources. Furthermore, the article has some non-definitional content, with information about an Indian study involving bedridden individuals. See source examples below; many more are available. Not seeing how deleting this article would improve the encyclopedia, as it can be easily expanded. North America1000 09:03, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per North America. It's a legitimate stub that can easily be expanded. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)


 * None of the references North America provides appear to be about being bedridden. Being bedridden appears to be a state taken for granted. Rathfelder (talk) 14:17, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - I put it in a sandbox in my userspace and plan on improving this topic and article. It has a lot of references that I can add and is a very important topic. Barbara (WVS) ✐   ✉  18:06, 22 July 2017 (UTC)  —Preceding undated comment added 16:26, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
