The result was   delete. No evidence of notability; also concerns about promotional content. Nothing in this close should be taken as prohibiting nor requiring a redirect to "home care". joe deckertalk to me 16:08, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Home Care Assistance

 * – ( View AfD View log )


 * Horrible sourcing, no real evidence of notability, just some trivial mentions in the press, usually barely talking about the actual subject.


 * Only actual claim for notability is based on the Franchise Times - who don't appear to be notable - saying they grew quickly compared to... well, as far as I can tell from the source, it's fastest growth of franchises of new companies who are covered by a paid service named FRANdata, are franchises, and who meet a variety of other requirements. Not exactly an unambiguous demonstration of notability.


 * And, of course, there's the issue that it was created by User:Expewikiwriter, a now-blocked sockmaster paid group account. 86.** IP (talk) 14:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Question: Is it possible that this could be used as a redirect for home care? By this I mean that it'd be "home care assistance" along the lines that someone would be searching for more information about home care. I know that "home care" itself would pop up first, but this might have potential as a redirect.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * If so, it should probably be deleted first, then redirected. Otherwise, you're just encouraging a sudden easter egg-ish change to the link from a talk on home care to a company's page. There are, after all, a lot of socks around, so a little more care is probably in order. Also, shouldn't that be the lowercase home care assistance? 86.** IP (talk) 02:22, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably- I'm sort of ambivalent about using it as a redirect for the exact reasons you've stated, but thought it might work as a redirect. I'm good with it not being a redirect and just being deleted as well, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:47, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong DeleteThis obviously fails WP:GNG, add in User:Expewikiwriter and I'm dissapointed there aren't guidlines that would allow admins to delete articles from accounts like this immediately. Not to mention Wikipedia is not a directory,listing service,advertising,etc.Newmanoconnor (talk) 04:33, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree with the others - CORP doesn't appear to be met. Had a look for better sources but could only find press release after press release. Ambivalent about the redirect. SmartSE (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
