 * Keep—Valid list per WP:SALAT. Regards, RJH (talk) 01:56, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * But WP:SALAT says "To keep the system of lists useful, we must limit the number of lists." Also, what use is a list of redlinks to readers? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep A list on a notable topic and part of the bigger scheme of Category:Lists of hospitals by country. Lugnuts  (talk) 10:31, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * How do we determine notability of lists? Given that the list consists of redlinks alone, I would argue that it is not a notable topic. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep – Red links don't pertain to notability, they just signify articles that haven't been created. This is a discriminate list that's useful for an encyclopedia. This article also qualifies for inclusion under WP:SALAT in the Manual of style for stand-alone lists, and additionally, is a functional part of Category:Lists of hospitals by country.

 * Keep Hospitals are notable institutions and coverage of African hospitals is extremely poor. This should be kept and articles attempted to be created on the most notable ones.♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:38, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep You can discuss which hospitals are notable and which aren't, and edit the list by normal means. Do it in the same manner that lists of notable hotels by country are done, or list of universities.   D r e a m Focus  17:28, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
