Mental health Emergency Rooms

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

With only 2 sources about a single MH ER example in Oregon, this poorly developed article does not show WP:Notability. – S. Rich (talk) 19:13, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The article might need to be completely rewritten, but the topic is notable enough to survive AFD. There are references in a scholarly journal, the New York Times, and a trade journal. Not ideal, but a lot of existing articles have weaker sources. Andrew327 01:12, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Reply by OP: BUT, are there actual EDs exclusively devoted to emergency/acute mental health or mental illness patients? I don't think so. In fact, EDs take in whomever walks in the door, which means a number of non-medical and non-acute patients get "checked-in" as patients. (But then where do they go?) The links you cite show ED professionals are seeking to address the problems that they face with such non-acute patients. I.e., the NYT article talks about how Holly Hill Hospital is seeking to treat such patients. AGAIN BUT, are there actual mental health ERs/EDs operating today? If they do not actually exist, then this article is not encyclopedic. – S. Rich (talk) 06:12, 26 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Emergency department until the article contains some significant information, rather than a rambling discourse on mental health in the United States. Deb (talk) 15:48, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Emergency department. Article would be created when more suitable source would be found on in depth talk about said subject.  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:15, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
