 * Delete—No notability offered, or can be found. Borderline CSD.  Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 17:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete some official references found, but nothing independent. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:41, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I reaffirm my delete !vote as requested below. I'd be happy to change to merge if a suitable candidate could be proposed, maybe something on Public–private partnerships in NZ? Stuartyeates (talk) 22:07, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Response This article from Te Ara might give a stear as to how it could be treated - [] NealeFamily (talk) 01:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: Non-notable. Reads like spam. SL93 (talk) 23:08, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into Health care in New Zealand under a Rural Healthcare heading as part of a more detailed item. NealeFamily (talk) 02:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I've declined the speedy request as to me at least it isn't blatant promotion. In fact, I can't see any promotion in the wording. (It may have been rewritten - if you !voted early, have another look.) The two refs look OK to me. The New Zealand Medical Journal is independent of both the government and of the company operating (sorry) the bus. The other doesn't look like it belongs to the company, as it's a .gov.nz site.

 * Delete, or Merge per NealeFamily. I'm not finding the independent sourcing needed to establish this as notable. Most of what is found at Google News is from Scoop, which mostly just reprints press releases, according to the Wikilink. The New Zealand Medical Journal is independent and reliable but it's not enough; multiple independent reliable sources are required. Article was recently created by a WP:SPA. --MelanieN (talk) 15:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Article name smacks of an advertisement. User:Davidfreesefan23 (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't get that - the title is the name of the company. What else should the article be called? Peridon (talk) 16:01, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment What may be confusing people is the article is written in a promotional tone and needs changing. The Service is part of the NZ Governments Rural Health Service. I don't think there is enough notable about this particular aspect of that service as a stand alone item and hence my recommendation that it be merged into either an article on rural healthcare in New Zealand or a more general healthcare in New Zealand. NealeFamily (talk) 05:41, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * To me, the tone doesn't look promotional. I may be confused, because I read the article as saying that while the company is Health Service funded, it is a "privately owned company". I work mainly in CSD and AfD, and no way would I delete this for promotional tone - or even tag it for someone else to decide about. Possibly merge it into an article on NZ rural health care, but I'm quite happy with it as it stands, despite Melanie's doubts about the amount of coverage. Peridon (talk) 21:37, 6 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Health care in New Zealand, also include brief material gleaned from Māori Women's Welfare League, etc. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
