 * Readers Digest calling it "The Betty Ford Center of the South" seems somewhat remarkable. There are 140 book references but a lot seem like directories. --Movingday29 (talk) 17:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Keep: I agree that the Reader's Digest article is a pretty clear earmark of notability.Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 18:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)141.165.42.204 (talk) 15:38, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Later: I notice there is a Good Housekeeping reference to the hospital and the Mooney family who founded it. Here is the reference: Good Housekeeping; Aug94, Vol. 219 Issue 2, p98, 6p, 1 chart, 3 color, 1 bw Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 18:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Has hits (but you need to sift out the directories out...). Could perhaps do with more external reference - but the field they work in isn't a 'glamorous' one like paediatrics or oncology. Notable enough to my mind. Peridon (talk) 19:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep : I wrote the article Willingway Hospital and really do appreciate all of the feedback. I went in and referenced a book that Dr. Al Mooney co-authored.  It is well-known in the field of addiction.  Being that he is on the Board of Directors at Willingway, perhaps the addition of this information helps confirm Willingway's notability.

 * Keep - Prod'ed 2 min after creation, then AFD'd the following day. Give the Article a chance. Hospitals generally can satisfy WP:N, and I'm betting that this one will too. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  04:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Despite the name, I think this is more of a treatment center than a conventional hospital. --Movingday29 (talk) 19:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
