[edit] Royal Portsmouth Hospital

Not notable, I don't even know where this building once was. Portsmouth, England I presume? Dspserpico 07:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I know nothing of this but my instincts tell me that this is a bad article about something notable. Can anyone improve it? Is'nt this what we are about? --Bduke 08:09, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Strongly agree with you. There must be a lot to be said, but Googling turns up relatively little of interest so it's unlikely that much verifiable can be found easily. Unless that happens I'm voting Delete for now and hope to be able to change vote later. It can always be recreated in the future! Dlyons493 Talk 12:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: see [1]. Is a hospital that was founded in 1849 notable? I honestly don't know. — Haeleth Talk 11:44, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep its as notable as some junior high in downtown new york.... 88.107.243.35 14:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

OOPS the above post was made by me, I forgot to sign in, my bad.... (new computer, new ISP, hence new IP number for anyone sharp eyed enough to notice out there!) Jcuk 21:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Seems notable. This article can be expanded. Obina 16:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have wikified it. Choalbaton 18:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep on the basis that there I've noticed a bias in Wikipedia towards the genuinely historic and studied or the very recent, and against things in fairly recent (mid-late C20) but much more likely to be fully documented in things like local history archives and newspaper libraries than on the web. --Cedders 21:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment the natural consequence of declaring that every school is notable is that every hospital is as well (there are surely less of the latter than of the former), and every post office, fire station, brothel, and such. The schoolophiles have made a mockery of any pretense at notability requirements of organizations/institutions/edifices. Carlossuarez46 23:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
