No evidence for notability. Most community hospitals are not notable, except in very unusual circumstances. There is here only one rival announcement-type third party reference, and it's generally impossible to find better.  DGG ( talk ) 03:24, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep – Meets WP:GNG and also qualifies for an article as per WP:AUD, which states, "Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability" (underline emphasis mine). The topic has received significant regional coverage in The Arizona Republic, the largest newspaper in Arizona. Source examples include: Arizona Republic, Arizona Republic, Arizona Republic. The topic has also received additional significant coverage, such as , . North America1000 22:07, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

 * what you have there is state coverage of an Arizona hospital in an Arizona paper.  DGG ( talk ) 01:28, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. Seems Notable in the context of Arizona, and it got a nice mention at http://cronkitenewsonline.com/2014/09/west-valley-hospital-unveils-latest-in-robotic-assisted-surgeries/. It will be a short article and we have to make sure the puff is kept out, but short articles about Notable things are just fine, in my opinion. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:03, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per others as WP:GNG. VMS Mosaic (talk) 05:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Actually, I completely disagree with the nominator — most community hospitals are probably notable. It doesn't take much snorting around the internets to find independently published material substantially about the topic, such as THIS from the Arizona Republic. Passes GNG.
