 * Comment-- seems a shame to delete all these when there's clearly been some effort put into their creation. Do we not have other such lists of regional hospitals for other parts of the world? Is there a parent article where this content could be merged, like list of hospitals in Turkey. Lesion  ( talk ) 14:01, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * List of hospitals in the United States (its child lists) seems to be at a similar level to the article here. I have no opinion on this AFD. Chris857 (talk) 17:19, 5 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose In WikiProject Lists there are more than 10000 list articles (ignoring those which are not included in the project). List of hospitals is no less notable than much of those.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 13:11, 7 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. The idea that any province of Turkey might not contain any notable hospitals is simply incredible, so such lists are perfectly acceptable. I also see no part of WP:NOTDIR that comes anywhere close to applying to these lists. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:55, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't see that WP:NOTDIR is violated in any way. It's a simple list of hostpitals without the usual earmarks of a directory such as address and contact information.  Generally speaking, major hospitals are held to be notable, and I would expect that any given province of Turkey would contain notable hospitals.  That we do not have articles on these hospitals is a reflection of the editor population of the English Wikipedia. -- Whpq (talk) 19:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * the Bursa and Balıkesir lists have no corresponding Turkish article. "major hospitals are held to be notable" the lists give no indication of what is notable and you're assuming these lists are full of notable hospitals. These lists should give guidance on notable hospitals instead of us presupposing they must be notable. Of course if you can demonstrate sources to prove notability of several hospitals in these lists I will happily withdraw the nomination. LibStar (talk) 06:55, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
