Centro Medico (Guatemala)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No significant sources located on a search. Even searching in Spanish for "Centro Medico"+"Ciudad de Guatemala" I didn't find any substantive independent coverage of the hospital. It exists, certainly, but it doesn't appear to be reported about in any depth that I can find.

There is a lot of noise from the fact that "centro medico" is itself a common phrase meaning "medical centre" but even adding the city doesn't help.

The reference to the Rough Guide to Guatemala appears to be in error - page 69 is all about accommodations and taxis and doesn't even contain the word "medico" let alone anything about a hospital.

When it was de-PROD'd, it was suggested to be merged to List of hospitals in Guatemala - but that's a cross-namespace redirect to a category with only two members in it. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:56, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, as per nom. I'm happy to reconsider if further references are found. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:53, 24 September 2021 (UTC) Hello, yes I am happy to! Redirecting or merging is a good solution here. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:24, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , are you ok to strike or change to redirect so this can be withdrawn as redirect/merge? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:11, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep or merge into List of hospitals in Guatemala. This is a major hospital in a country with very thin medical facilities.  It would be ridiculous if Wikipedia does not even mention it somewhere and our "list" is reduced to just one item.  By comparison List of hospitals in Manhattan has hundreds of entries.  The page is capable of some expansion, from  for instance, as well as from its own website .  The guatemala.com site (my first link) would also serve to start to fill out an initial list.

 * You keep saying to merge it to this list, but there is no list to merge it to, as it is a redirect to the category. "Capable of expansion" is not a notability criteria, and the city guide website you linked to isn't on its own sufficient coverage for a keep. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 08:06, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I realise the list is actually a redirect. I am suggesting create an article there.  There is easily enough in sources to justify that even if individual hospital articles cannot be supported. Either way, deletion is not the answer here per WP:ATD. SpinningSpark 08:14, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to withdraw if you'd like to create the list. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 10:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, deal. I've created the list page with the two we have articles and will list more tomorrow. SpinningSpark 21:05, 24 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete/redirect to list I looked for coverage and didn't find anything besides two (if i'm remembering correctly) regurgitated press releases. In theory, I think most hospitals should have articles (they're important to communities and usually receive news coverage), but we really don't have enough to write an article here.

 * Delete/redirect to list agree with Calliopejen1 and Spinningspark Heythereimaguy (talk) 14:42, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to list – It is an important hospital here, but the few results that are not directory listings seem to be press releases as stated. I'll be happy to help expand the list when I have a chance. –FlyingAce✈hello 15:55, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
