Little or no content Touch Of Light (talk) 01:14, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Content is available, but it doesn't satisfy WP:HOSPITAL. Nobody's written about it. The best I could find is this. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:33, 23 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Currently its a one-sentence stub that contains no content beyond what's already in Tenet Healthcare, so redirect there at the very least.  If someone is interested in expanding the article, it may well be a worthwhile subject -- that appears to have happened in past stub-hospital AfDs.--Milowent • hasspoken  04:48, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Now that I have improved article sufficiently..--Milowent • hasspoken 15:32, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Indio, California. (Changing to Keep, see below.) A paragraph has been added to this article by cut-and-pasting it from the Indio article, so all the information is already duplicated at the Indio article. Google Search for this hospital finds only mirrors of the Wikipedia Indio article. Google News finds nothing of significance. --MelanieN (talk) 20:56, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I copied it to spur others, hopefully. I am pretty sure there are paywalled articles with coverage of the hospital based on my quick searching.  It wouldn't be unusual to find it, certainly.  But yes, addition of the paragraph by itself is not enough.--Milowent • hasspoken  10:44, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep well referenced now. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 02:57, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm changing my opinion to keep based on the new "history" section, with references showing what a long-established hospital this is. Good work, Milowent. --MelanieN (talk) 15:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable small hospital. Run-of the mill coverage does not satisfy WP:ORG. Edison (talk) 19:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, the History section has improved the article and demonstrates reliable secondary source coverage. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 05:06, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep because useful to readers and inherently notable per WP:ORG and WP:NOTPAPER. Dualus (talk) 19:54, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a hospital... awesome. Wikipedia is not a directory. Can anyone point out a single source which gives anything other than trivial coverage of this place? Trusilver  20:23, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I can. If you have paywall access to these articles and the archives of southern california newspapers, you can see there are articles completely about the hospital on a regular basis.  I searched some AfDs on hospitals and saw a lot of other keep outcomes before I spent any time on this one.--Milowent • hasspoken  20:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, but perhaps my question instead should be what makes this hospital in any way notable... other than the fact it exists? Trusilver  19:20, 4 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep on the basis of the GNG., which I think is the answer to Truesilver. the reason for the coverage is that major hospitals aresignificant community institutions. DGG ( talk ) 20:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
