[edit] Health care in Pakistan

Health care in Pakistan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article has no place on Wikipedia. It is not needed, has no references, and would be a waste of time to clean up. The only way to reach this page is to search Wikipedia for "countchoculitis". This should be a quick and painless process to remove this waste of space. OrcShaman42 14:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. Granted the article's pretty ropey, but I don't see why Healthcare in Pakistan should be an inappropriate subject here. BTLizard 15:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It needs improving, not deleting. Why isn't it a legitimate subject? I don't understand the nom's hostility towards it. Nick mallory 15:13, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- Health care in any country is a valid topic, we have various articles on different countr's health systems and I can't see why Pakistan should be any different. I would agree with Nick Mallory- it needs improving not deleted. Thunderwing 15:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Thought so. Keep then, per my reasoning above. BTLizard 16:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, just saying the article is "worthless" without backing up that assertion is not sufficient. WatchingYouLikeAHawk 16:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep perfectly legitimate, encyclopedic topic. Nomination fails to establish why this should be deleted. Hut 8.5 16:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Wow. I can't believe this (seriously). I was just jumping through the hoops to remove this, but apparently this unencyclopediac, fanatical-(and banned)-user-created article that doesn't even meet the basic requirements for a Wikipedia article LET ALONE give any useful information, has a pretty strong fanbase. Wikipedia is a great place to find people who are willing to defend something for no reason other than someone is attacking it. You know what? I don't care anymore. It's not winning or losing, we aren't playing soccer, it's abandoning ship. Save this "article," do it. Prove me wrong, and when this pile of slop is refined into a featured article, you can come rub it in my uncaring face. Have fun with your litte game, kiddies, I'll be in my office. OS out.

    • Comment. AFD is a set of procedures, true, but following them does not guarantee an outcome. There seems to be a consensus that the topic is encyclopedic regardless of the quality of the article, which means it should be kept and improved. Finding articles that are in a sorry state should mean that someone at least tries to fix them before deciding they need removal. --Dhartung | Talk 05:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I don't know about everyone else, but I thought Wikipedia was a game, at least an MMORPG. If it isn't then why am I keeping score and leveling up? But seriously, this article is not written well. I agree with the nominator in that regard. Also, the article is not sourced and provides no means of verifying the information. That is definitely a problem. However, the topic is definitely notable as health care and level of coverage will vary in each country. If it were deleted, it would be recreated later. This article really only needs to be sourced and expanded to be acceptable. --Cyrus Andiron 18:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep/Merge/Recruit for Massive Clean-up - Has anyone else noticed that there is a Category:Health in Pakistan with little difference from Health care in Pakistan? Will anyone bell these cats? Canuckle 22:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Tag for Cleanup There is no reason to delete this article as to its subject, as well, the subject of Health Care in a given country is absolutely notable, verifiable, and otherwise acceptable as an article. If the contents of this article are unacceptable, well, try some Handy Cleanup tags. PS, this article can easily be reached by typing "Health Care in Pakistan" in the search bar, or checking the category. But seriously, there are solutions besides deletion. bFrozenPurpleCube 00:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Thunderwing. The alleged problem with this article may have been that one sentence had been vandalized by an anonymous user who inserted some nonsense, which has since been removed. But that's not a good reason to delete an article. --Metropolitan90 01:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep/Merge/Cleanup. Article could use a little help from a native English speaker,and needs to be expanded, but it is certainly appropriate for Wikipedia. Many of the stubs in [[Category:Health in Pakistan]] could be merged in to one article. Horologium talk - contrib 02:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup this article, and I agree that "Health care in X" is a valid topic for any country. --Dhartung | Talk 05:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep/Cleanup It's really just a stub/outline and needs considerable work, but the topic is appropriate and we don't require perfection immediately. Studerby 05:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Pakistan-related deletions. --   ⇒ bsnowball  15:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand The health care system of an entire country affects millions of citizens, and many should know about it through reports and things like that. A couple of references from its Health Ministry should be sufficient. However, with many empty sections, the article will require expansion.--Kylohk 09:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
