Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of hospitals in Nigeria


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it.

The result was keep per WP:SNOW. (Corpx, if you feel strongly about it, you have my permission to reopen the debate.) The basic issue, as many of you have advised, is that this discussion is not about one article - it's about hundreds of articles, basically everything in Category:Lists of hospitals. Really the only proper way to consider deletion would be to state the issues on the scale of the whole category. I don't think that was done, and I'm not willing to do it myself. I don't know which of these hospitals are notable, but by the nature of such things, some of them must be notable. Deciding which are and which aren't is outside the scope of AFD. Non-admin closure.

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Nigeria-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 12:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, unless you plan on deleting everything else in Category:Lists of hospitals. Actually keep even if you are planning that. There are lots of hospitals, many of which are notable and I don't see a problem with having a list of them, whether it's for Nigeria or anywhere else. Also, this article doesn't match the definition of directory put forth in WP:NOT in any way. Recury 14:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, possibly with the proviso that non-notable hospitals be removed from such lists. —Psychonaut 15:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 16:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment' (from nominator) - So, y'all dont think it falls under "Wikipedia is not the yellow pages."? I think the notable hospitals should have a page and be under the category "Hospitals in Nigeria", but I dont think there should be a page just to list them all. Corpx 16:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment (to the nominator)-- Then let's hope that you never get appendicitis while you're in Nigeria.... :) Mandsford 23:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Categories do not replace lists. —Psychonaut 17:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There are 100 similar lists to this one, if delete you might as well delete all the other ones including the United States lists, or to put in cats.JForget 23:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and this is one of the relatively few cases where i would keep items of borderline notability on the list--because it is difficult for us to assess notability. DGG 00:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid way of covering the Nigerian health service. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have poor coverage of Nigeria, the most populated State in Africa. This will help editors to add articles for the Hospitals. I have added the WikiProject Nigeria tag to the talk page and that might bring some interest. The agree with both the two comments above. --Bduke 07:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
