Care of residents

 * Unsure It seems like this could be a useful article about residential care (which seems to be the preferred term at Google; the author of this article made "residential care" into a redirect to this article, but I found almost no examples of usage of the term "care of residents"). The article is well organized, concise, and factual. We do have a comparable article on Home care. But this article as it stands is entirely unsourced. Let me see if I can find any sourcing. --MelanieN (talk) 17:47, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I've added sourcing and am continuing to do so. I think the article has encyclopedic merit. Its name should be changed to Residential care (an administrator will have to do that, since Residential care currently exists as a redirect to this article). --MelanieN (talk) 19:59, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Very sourceable topic. I know books I have used to source other related articles would just as easily be able to source this one. (Note to Melanie N. If you want to boldly move this, you db-move)Tatterfly (talk) 04:26, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Tatterfly. Unfortunately I can't move it to a name that already exists. That's why I said it needs an administrator, to delete the existing redirect page Residential care so this article can be moved there. --MelanieN (talk) 14:37, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the full explanation on my talk page. I will do this if the article is kept. --MelanieN (talk) 23:14, 14 August 2011 (UTC)


 * comment the original issue is that this is a synthesis of topics already covered by their own article. Each " section" already has an article. As such, this is an unnecessary synthesis of those topics. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 05:15, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I see this as an article with surmountable problems. The OR and synthesis can be cleaned up. It doesn't have to be done in just 7 days either. Given the length of this article, I see that as a project that could take months at least. The format is laid out so well, I could see the problem as very solvable.

 * Keep, but change the title yo Residential care the present one is awkward, and not what anyone would normally say. It's not a synthesis, but a summary. There will certainly be enough references, considering that multiple textbooks have been written about each part of this.  DGG ( talk ) 21:44, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
