Lower Cape Fear Hospice

Not sure what makes this hospice particularly notable enough to merit an encyclopedia article. The very article says it only has a "few employees" and nothing notes an extraordinary contribution or accomplishment. MartinezMD (talk) 15:05, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:NONPROFIT. Looks like a pretty ordinary hospice, with nothing in reliable sources showing up to demonstrate it has any particular notability. PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:26, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

It's clearly a very significant healthcare organisation in Wilmington with lots of independent coverage. It has 150 employees, and 325 volunteers according to the article.Rathfelder (talk) 08:31, 25 October 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * 400 employees according to more recent sources.Rathfelder (talk) 15:46, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I've added more referenced material. There is no shortage of mentions, though most, of course, are obituaries of people who died there.Rathfelder (talk) 11:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I came across those as well - just lots of death notices etc. Any notable/outstanding references? MartinezMD (talk) 15:40, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I think there is sufficient evidence to show it is a notable part of the healthcare system in North Carolina. Rathfelder (talk) 09:36, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * What evidence? That's my point. There isn't any in the article to demonstrate its notability and a search doesn't turn anything up. The limited sources demonstrate a mundane operation, no different than another common hospice. I'll readily withdraw my nomination for deletion if there's some substance to notability MartinezMD (talk) 19:59, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

 * If your case is that hospices are inherently not notable this is not the place to make your case. The evidence is fairly clear that this is a large and significant provider of healthcare which has attracted a lot of coverage.  There are 4 independent stories, and I'm sure there are more to be had.  It's not necessary to establish that this is more significant than other hospices - though actually this article has better references than some of the others.Rathfelder (talk) 09:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * My point is that the sources provided is not "significant" coverage as required per WP:GNG. Any general community institution is not notable unless is meets WP:GNG. And I have asked you before, and will ask again specifically, which source(s) do you think provides notability? I have no problem with the article's existence if there are appropriate sources.

 * Delete There just isnt enough to meet WP:NONPROFIT, or WP:GNG. Sure, there are quite a few passing mentions in local newspapers, but its as a charity to donate to, or because the interviewer has talked to someone who works there about a general healthcare issue. There aren't any in depth or significant articles about the hospice itself. I can see Rathfelder has done quite a bit of work, but the notabilty just isnt there.

 * A large number of passing references can build up a picture of notability.Rathfelder (talk) 22:33, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
