San Jose Hospital & Trauma Center

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable small Philippine hospital. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Fails WP:CORP. Terence7 (talk) 21:37, 26 March 2012 (UTC)


 * My argument for keeping this article can be found in the article's talk page. There is little info about it on the internet, but I have seen the hospital and it is the only hospital serving its vicinity.Bill Pollard (talk) 13:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - major hospitals, especially with medical/nurse teaching programs, are notable, especially if they draw their patients from a large area. Bearian (talk) 18:21, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Major hospital is automatically notable. ~dee  ( talk? ) 18:48, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * It's NOT a "major" hospital, as the article's primary contributor has acknowledged: see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=San_Jose_Hospital_%26_Trauma_Center&oldid=483920201. It's a level 2 hospital, which means it's a small hospital. Terence7 (talk) 20:06, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ..."it is the only hospital serving its vicinity" makes it a bit important and makes me that bit more hesitant to endorse a deletion just because we can't find more English sources online. ~dee  ( talk? ) 08:10, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete; insufficient reliable secondary or tertiary sources for the subject to meet WP:CORP or WP:GNG. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:25, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I still have not found a great deal of new info on this hospital, but I have found enough to show that while it is small, it is one of only two trauma centers in Cavite. The other is much larger.  I don't know where I should address this comment, but I think Wikipedia should not be deleting articles about any hospitals anywhere, unless the info is fraudulent, libelous, etc.  To me, by nature almost any hospital, especially in a third-world country, is important enough to warrant an article.Bill Pollard (talk) 21:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please be careful with your referencing, Bill. You cannot use forums as reliable sources. While I can't use this image in the article, it, along with other directories that list the hospital, should be enough to prove that it is not a hoax. Similar to how schools, roads, etc are added without major "notability" or wide media coverage, a hospital (and that is claimed to be one of two trauma hospitals that serves the province of Cavite) should be worthy of inclusion imo. ~dee  ( talk? ) 12:02, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong-Keep - Level 2 designation does not mean "smaller and not notable" it means that it does not have certain medical specialties available on-site 24/7 and will have to call them in as needed. Hospital is notable though I do agree more information is needed, not less, which is what a delete does. &#124; pulmonological talk • contribs 11:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * A Level 2 is required to fullfill some pretty "major hospital" requirements. There are not many hospitals that are able to garner a trauma level designation, this adds to the ability to refer to the hospital as a "major" hospital. &#124; pulmonological talk • contribs 11:02, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
