Long list of redlinks and no sources. Fails WP:NLIST. Per WP:CSC: "lists devoted to a large number of redlinked (unwritten) articles, for the purpose of keeping track of which articles still need to be written—don't belong in the main namespace." There are 7 citations: 5 are external links to hospitals (violating WP:ELLIST) and the other 2 don't verify. Platonk (talk) 02:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

— Withdrawn by nominator - Wikiproject Hospital has taken it over, improved it, added citations, and is still going strong. Platonk (talk) 02:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

comment The "for the purpose of" guideline is subjective and in practice is generally disregarded because it makes obvious sense to (for example) list the species in a genus article even if those articles haven't yet been created. Conversely, the creation of stubs specifically so they can be included in these lists has proven to be a terrible idea. Frankly I've come to the conclusion that stubs shouldn't be created at all. Be that as it may, I suspect my opinions on the notability of hospitals is out of step with consensus. But if hospitals are generally held notable, then this list will surely be created anyway, and if lists of hospitals in a political division are a usual thing, then again this list will (and does) exist. The fact that it is a collection of redlinks doesn't seem germane; the question is whether in general we make such lists of hospitals. Mangoe (talk) 03:39, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from WP:Hospitals This article needs sourcing and a discussion of notable hospitals in the history of Ehtiopia. Recommend not deleting. All countries should have sufficient sources to describe the number of hospitals, historical background, organization of hospitals, and links to articles of notable hospitals. The article just needs some more research and deletion of red links or article creation.
