List of Genesis HealthCare Locations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list of locations served by some nursing home chain. I don't know how this can be considered as encyclopedic. No references have been provided as well. Was CSDed and deleted earlier as WP:G11. The author created the article again, and the new CSD tag was removed by him.  Jupitus Smart  15:17, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I understand why the article was nominated for deletion, and I did not intend on removing this from the page. I just felt a speedy deletion was a bit much, and wanted time to discuss my reasoning, as you can see on the article's talk page. Thank you.--AirportExpert (talk) 18:29, 5 June 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert
 * Just to recap what I originally stated: "This page is not unambiguously promotional, because in no way is it intended on promoting the business. Would you remove an airline's list of served airports, claiming that the list is used to promote the airline's business? It is simply a list of served markets."--AirportExpert (talk) 18:32, 5 June 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert
 * For some reason I did not get the ping, probably because your signature is messed up. Anyway I have nothing more to add to my nomination. Cheers.  Jupitus Smart  19:00, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

I have provided my reasons why this should remain. For the record, I do NOT work for the company, and have been editing for years. I edit companies with a presence in Connecticut, and this happens to be one. To incinuate that is just nonsense.--AirportExpert (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert
 * Delete as nonnotable. Honestly I think a COI investigation should be opened, this seems very suspicious. ɱ  (talk) · vbm  · coi) 18:32, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Ajf773 (talk) 18:39, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete There's nothing notable here and not one of the locations is likely to merit their own article. Perhaps a merge to Genesis HealthCare could be considered, though I'm not sure what would be added through a merge. Alansohn (talk) 01:38, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Borderline G11 material and totally unencyclopedic. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:14, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. People don't use an encyclopedia to find lists of nursing homes. Perhaps a broader description of the range of facilities could be added to the main Genesis HealthCare article. Do not merge this list there (not even as a collapsible box) - it is unencyclopedic. I agree with that one must assume good faith, and I agree we probably shouldn't have speedied the work of a longterm contributor. JFW &#124;  T@lk  08:45, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That I fully agree to. I just saw the article and Speedied it believing that such an article can only be made by an inexperienced editor. However when I saw that he has around 3K edits (not perfect edits though), I had doubts about my call, but the admin concurred with my judgement, and I felt vindicated. I still believe that the article was made in good faith considering the analogy he presented, though the article still needs to be deleted as its unencyclopedic.

I explained my rationale for creating this page above. You could also look up an airline's destinations list on the airline's website, so why should an airline's destination list be an article? This is the list of markets served in a specific industry, just like for any other industry. Secondly, just because there are no other articles in a specific category, that doesn't mean that new categories cannot be created. New categories are created on Wikipedia everyday.--AirportExpert (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory. Why on earth was this article created, ? There are no other articles like this - and if there are, point them out so they can go through AfD too. Exemplo347 (talk) 12:54, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I could look this up on Yellow Books if I wanted, not Wikipedia. &mdash; JJ  Be  rs  16:29, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, have a read through WP:LISTN and WP:NOTDIRECTORY and you'll see exactly why this type of article is not what Wikipedia is for. Exemplo347 (talk) 18:45, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Merge and delete: I think this list should be merged into Genesis HealthCare. Seriously,, there's already a place ready and waiting for it. I would recommend the list be put in as a collapsing table, but then again, that section is at the end of the article. Or be bold and cut and paste your list into Genesis HealthCare yourself and save the hassle. Not for nothing, but that edit summary on the list makes it look very much like a commercial promotion. Wikipedia is not a directory. &mdash; Myk Streja  talk to me 04:11, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * , why did you create a separate list? You were the one to install the link at Genesis HealthCare. &mdash; Myk Streja  talk to me 04:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)


 * delete, we are not a directory nor a webhost for this company. Jytdog (talk) 06:00, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can we close this now, the consensus is clearly showing a delete. &mdash; JJ Be  rs  15:51, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Yes . There's consensus that this page is not encyclopedic.  At best, the content should be synthesized into the existing Genesis HealthCare article, but would not merit its own page.  While I believe good faith was exhibited, a lengthy directory listing does not add value to the community.Lslong427 (talk) 20:42, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
