See OTRS ticket 2010063010027064, which is an email from a PR consultant. Shawn, from PR Watchdog, has waived the privacy of his communication to us, and asked that this article be deleted because: "It's grossly incorrect and was not commissioned or approved by the hospital." I am making the deletion discussion on his behalf, and I myself will be abstaining. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 15:09, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Abstain - As the nominator on behalf of Shawn, I am abstaining. My opinion should not be counted, however Shawn's, as the nominator, should. I have informed Shawn of the location of the debate, and shown him the basics of our deletion policy and arguments to avoid. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 15:12, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think such large hospitals are usually notable and meet WP:GNG. This one in particular is ranked in several specialties by US News & World Report here. If there are statements that are inaccurate, reliable sources can be presented and the article can be appropriately corrected. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 16:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep We are not required to have our articles "commissioned or approved" by their subjects. To the extent that it's "grossly incorrect", their PR man needs to tell us why so that we can (drum roll please) correct it.  Mandsford 16:10, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Almost all of the facts in this article can be found on the hospital's own fact sheet on its web site. If there are a few items in this article that are inaccurate, it should be possible to deal with them by normal editing. I have also checked all the prior revisions of this article, and I didn't see anything in them that looked that bad. The nature of the problem raised in the OTRS ticket is unclear to me. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per all the well explained reasoning above especially Metro's.  Gtstricky Talk or C 16:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This is officially the most ridiculous article deletion reference I have seen. Why the heck should we care what the hospital thinks? If it doesn't like the material (or thinks it is incorrect), the hospital should be a good community member and correct the information. Frank0051 (talk) 03:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
