Proposed deletion of Waverly Health Center

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Waverly Health Center, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:

Waverly Health Center – news, books, scholar Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ukexpat (talk) 02:59, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Waverly Health Center deletion

edit

I would like you to reconsider the deletion of the Waverly Health Center page. Much of the discussion on the Articles for Deletion page was prior to the addition of additional references and editing of the text.

I also have additional references and national awards to add. Please consider the page as a work in progress and undelete.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waverly312 (talkcontribs) 20:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ at the end.
Having reviewed this matter, I can see that none of the references you added were to reliable sources, and indeed most of your edits after the nomination were copyediting only. As such, I am declining your request to restore the page. You can list it at Wikipedia:Deletion review if you feel I have not followed the deletion policy properly.

Reliable sources included comprehensive hospital listing and national non-profit focused on patient-centered care. Edits after the nomination removed promotional language and added notability. Please see "List of Hospitals in Iowa" for similar sites. Thank you. --Waverly312 (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, reliable sources are things like articles in major newspapers, academic journals, and books. Stifle (talk) 13:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I have additional reliable sources to add, including:

Hosptial data changes quickly, and much of the information available is from internet sources. Thank you. Please reconsider and reinstate. --Waverly312 (talk) 16:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
That first one looks like an advertorial, and I'm not sure what the second is meant to be, but it doesn't help me decide that the hospital is notable. Stifle (talk) 10:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
The first article is in a respected trade magazine. We did not solicit the opportunity and it was written by a outside reporter. The article demonstrates that Waverly Health Center has been recognized for outstanding patient care and unique services. The second link demonstrates accreditation and quality information. --Waverly312 (talk) 13:47, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
