 * Keep - although it looks like someone scanned a brochure into Wikipedia, the company itself has cites in WSJ, Bloomberg, Sydney Herald. It looks like it meets notability but I would see it stubbed rather than left as is. EBY (talk) 00:46, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

 Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes in the first three paragraphs: "ASIC, the ASX and the Takeovers Panel need to look at how Healthscope was able to put its foot on a $265 million, 9.9 per cent blocking stake in Symbion Health yesterday to determine whether any change in the rules is required. At issue is if, in a practical sense, investors other than Healthscope had the opportunity to participate in bidding for the shares, or if existing practices gave Healthscope an unfair advantage. Healthscope struck immediately after Symbion and Healthscope disclosed to the market that the tax office had destroyed their plans to carve up Symbion, and so they had called the deal off."  The article notes: "Healthscope is the second-largest hospital operator in the country, with 47 hospitals, and it also has a sizeable pathology business." <li> The article notes: "INVESTORS wiped more than $300 million off the market value of Healthscope, Australia's second biggest private hospital operator, after the company yesterday admitted its much-hyped acquisition of the Gribbles pathology business had failed to boost earnings as promised."</li> <li></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Healthscope to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Weak delete Most of the articles I see are in investment sources, many related to the company's IPO. It seems to be considered a good investment, but I can't say that in itself is notable. LaMona (talk) 21:09, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I reverted the copyright violations added to the article and restored the article to the last clean version at 23:34, 23 February 2013‎ (UTC). The changes were a copyright violation of http://www.healthscope.com.au/ (archiveurl), as well as several other heathscope.com.au pages. Cunard (talk) 04:23, 25 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Company seems clearly notable due to its large share of medical activities in Australia, but clearly the article needs a thorough cleanup. ---Reinoutr (talk) 14:21, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
