~~Keep~~ – The subject is notable although the article itself needs to be rewritten, but this could also be a redirect to some section on Health system with {{r with possibilities}}. The economics of privatization and private health care as a way to expand health care in developing countries are widely discussed [1][2][3][4][5]. There is nothing in the current article that would be salvageable when someone does finally rewrite it. – Thjarkur (talk) 00:16, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The subject is certainly notable. But I think it would be better dealt with on a country by country basis, and to some extent it already is. Rathfelder (talk) 20:20, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm withdrawing my !vote as although sources about the subject exist, none give a good overview of the subject and I was not able to find a way to salvage this article. I can't find any good redirect targets for this, so a soft delete might be an option. – Thjarkur (talk) 12:16, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. I would not oppose a redirect to an appropriate target. Bearian (talk) 20:38, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the topic of private healthcare is plenty notable (there are whole books written on the subject of public vs private healthcare), but the article itself is written as an essay, is unsourced, and doesn't seem worth saving. It is worth noting that there is an article on Public healthcare. But this article looks nothing like that, and I assume WP:BLOWITUP makes the most sense in this case.
