West Health

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lack of notability from independent reliable sources. Most if not all are press releases and primary source websites.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 04:59, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep but rename and refocus. "West Health" - the overall umbrella organization - does not appear to be notable. (What the hell is an "independent, non-partisan ecosystem" anyhow?} But I think their subsidiary, West Health Institute, which is a "nonprofit medical research group", may be notable.   Those are not the greatest sources - the Forbes ones are not by staff but by "contributors" - but I think more may be findable. If the decision is to keep and refocus, I will undertake the necessary rewriting - unless someone beats me to it. --MelanieN (talk) 20:37, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't think it's an advertisement and would be willing to add in more/better sources. Will start now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omahaeditor5 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 24 February 2015 (UTC)  — Omahaeditor5 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep -- Does not violate criteria for speedy deletion, does not qualify for Wikipedia's reasons for deletion. I disagree that it is an advertisement - they do not appear to be selling anything and they are not asking for money/funding (I think that's what independent, nonpartisan means). Company's work seems legitimate. Reason for notability seems to be four ways to change healthcare in the United States without making money. Could be improved for clarity and additional sources, especially in timeline section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:35FA:D0B0:7185:A12E:757F:AE4A (talk) 16:23, 25 February 2015 (UTC)  — 2602:306:35FA:D0B0:7185:A12E:757F:AE4A (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep -- Kinda wonky but not commercial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.134.70.11 (talk) 07:49, 26 February 2015 (UTC)  — 209.134.70.11 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - I had a search for sources and found quite a few press releases, but this and this seem to be independent coverage. However, that seems to be about the "Gary and Mary West Health Institute", which I'm not entirely sure is the same entity, though it looks like it is. It may involve a rewrite from scratch.

 * Keep -- I made edits, deleteing references to incubator and investment fund, which don't seem notable. The non-profit medical research seems relevant Omahaeditor5 (talk) 23:06, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
