The result was Keep (non-admin closure) per WP:SNOWBALL. The subject is obviously notable. Nominator does not seem have have a clear grasp on policy; all of his AFD's have been meet with a unanimous keep consensus. Possibly a bad faith nomination. -Icewedge (talk) 02:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Good Samaritan Hospital (Suffern)

Seemingly well referenced but incurable failure of WP:ORG for local organizations. Earthtried1985 (talk) 21:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see how it fails WP:ORG given the multiple references. Note also that this is a brand new account whose first contributions are four AfDs within a minute. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Note, also, that this user's first contribution is the installation of Twinkle. Very suspicious. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: there is no AfD on the article and from the history it doesn't appear there ever was one. I don't know how to retro add one. TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 02:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Creator Keep, apart from the nom's apparent issue with hospitals as s/he seems to have nominated all the Good Sams, this one is definitely notable. It's the only cardiac provider between NYC and Albany and its JCAHO certifications are notable for a hospital this size and the first hospital in New York State to earn both JCAHO Primary Stroke Center certification, along with state designation as a Primary Stroke Center (verbatim and sourced from the article). I admit the history section has primary source issues because it's sourced almost wholly from the hospital's anniversary information, but that doesn't invalidate notability.

 * Keep There is sufficient sourcing to pass WP:ORG. Hospitals are serious, encyclopedic subjects that are important to their communities, and we should have articles on them. Why is there no AfD tag on the article? Noroton (talk) 05:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
