List of hospitals in Istanbul

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

WP:NOTLINKFARM. Fails the Purposes of lists and does not add content or meaning to our encyclopedia, rather directs readers off Wikipedia. Wikipedia is Not a Link Farm to External Websites --Hu12 (talk) 20:54, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * At the very least, all the external links should be removed per WP:NOTLINKFARM/WP:EL, but there are many other Lists of hospitals which suggests people may find these articles useful. (I don't mean that to be a WP:OTHERSTUFF argument ... just noting it.)  Peacock (talk) 21:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. For AfD's on other lists of hospitals, see here:

In most cases, but not all, the article was kept. --Lambiam 22:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC) 
 * Comment. I don't see a single article link in this list, only plain text names and external links. I have a hard time believing that there are no notable hospitals in such a large and historic city, but maybe the most acceptable thing to do for now would be to make this a to-do list for an editor interested in researching and expanding our coverage in this area. As for the non-notable ones, I don't see a use to covering them except in the aggregate, as the intro to this list does ("Istanbul is home to more than 60 state and more than 100 private hospitals"), but maybe someone will have a good argument. postdlf (talk) 19:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This page is obviously important in case anybody gets hurt in Istanbul. I'm also going to create a redirect page that points here: List of hospitals in Constantinople, just in case an injured person in the area is confused or traveling through time.

 * Hey, we're all traveling through time - at one second per second. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:24, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep or merge based on past AfD precedents, as shown by Lambian, to List of hospitals in Turkey and editing it down to the notable ones. Bearian (talk) 17:04, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as link farm; add any notable hospitals to the Turkey list mentioned above.  Sandstein   04:19, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. No reliable source listed.  A completely rewritten list of notable hospitals or those with English speaking staffs based on reliable sources such as lists provided by and available from the US and UK embassies may be useful and suitable for the English Wikipedia but this unsourced list needs to go.

 * Delete. I second the reasons cited by DocTree. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 08:06, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The page has essentially no content but external links. Ducknish (talk) 16:40, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
