Roscommon Hospital Action Committee

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It seems like this article should at best be a section in Roscommon University Hospital. This organization has hyperlocal notability - basically a group opposing a single hospital's administration. Toddst1 (talk) 19:54, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep The organisation has attracted national level coverage in mainstream media over a five year period. Mccapra (talk) 22:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Keep the title. But summarise and merge the content to sit as a section of Roscommon University Hospital. And redirect the title there. I suggest this because, per WP:MERGEREASON, there will likely always be significant overlap between this organisation and the hospital with which it is associated. And, similarly, there will be duplication of content between the two (as we already have). And/or a requirement for readers to visit both articles to gain the necessary context. These (overlap/content/context) represent three of the four merge reasons. Any one of which might suggest a merge on its own. Summarisation is also likely required because of the overly "newsy" nature of the content in the organisation's article. (We seem to have represented every news headline associated with the organisation as a line in the article. When, perhaps, this is overkill, and each of the protests, some of which were years ago and a few days apart could be covered in one line). Otherwise I would note that there are hospital action groups associated with any number of hospitals. 6 or 7 in Ireland alone that I can think of. And hundreds if not thousands worldwide. These organisations occasionally each receive some coverage. But their notability (and that coverage) doesn't really stand independent of the associated hospital. And so I don't see that such groups (like this one) are notable enough for their own independent articles... Anyway, merge and redirect would seem the most appropriate action to me.

 * Merge and redirect per Guliolopez and others. The topic itself does not seem notable enough to have its own article. Taewangkorea (talk) 11:34, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. I don't see much coverage in reliable sources. Masum Reza 📞 17:44, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
