List of hospitals in Belgium

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Pointless list - I just deleted a slew of ELs linking to individual hospitals, etc. leaving a link to all the hospitals in Belgium - what is the point of the article if all we need is a link at Belgium? Dougweller (talk) 19:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I would consider hospitals, some small and private clinics aside, inherently notable as you will almost always find significant coverage in local and regional media if you dig deep enough (in this case in Dutch and French). Hospitals in xxx, where xxx is a state or country seems an excellent encyclopedic topic for stand alone lists. That this particular list is in bad shape and made mostly redundant by an external link is not a reason for deletion, it just shows there is still plenty of room for improvement on this area of wikipedia.
