[edit] Queenstown Road Medical Practice

Tagged speedy, by Outlanderssc, as not noteworthy-linkspam. Doesn't look as a speedy to me, but sure looks unencyclopedic.--Nabla 2005-06-29 15:58:09 (UTC)

• Keep. Older, inferior encyclopedias would not have room for it, but this one has. CalJW 29 June 2005 16:22 (UTC)
• Strong delete what next, an article on every school? Dunc|☺ 29 June 2005 16:32 (UTC)
• Keep, encyclopedic topic, and housed in a notable building. Could be merged somewhere. Kappa 29 June 2005 18:27 (UTC)
• Delete, no indication of encyclopedic notability. Closest from the article is "It has been on Queenstown Road for over 90 years." Well now! Otherwise it would hardly retain that name, would it? If a supply closet were housed in that same barely-near-the-edge-of-notability building, would that make it keep-worthy, or would it need some indication of independent notability beyond that of thousands of other supply closets?

• Delete, notability not established. Wikipedia is not a directory of doctors' offices. carmeld1 30 June 2005 02:38 (UTC)
• Delete - first schools, then teachers and now medical practices - Skysmith 30 June 2005 08:26 (UTC)
• Delete. Structure itself might be an article, but not the practice. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish June 30, 2005 16:35 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with CalJW, older paper encyclopedias may not have room for this, but an online electronic encyclopedia possibly does. Wikipedia is online, theoretically the storage space is limitless, so what's wrong with having an article on every school, every teacher, every medical practice... an article on every little thing in the world!

• Delete; Please see WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information. Specifically, Wikipedia is not a directory. There are millions of businesses in the world. To have entries for all of them, even just medical offices, is no different than being a directory. What makes this office encyclopedic? That it is in a potentially interesting building is not enough; the building could have an article noting the current tenants, and that's where this information should be merged if such an article exists. Another potential merge location is an article on Wandsworth Primary Care Trust, which does not exist. Failing the existence of a merge location for this article, this medical office has no place here unless there is something encyclopedic about this office that has so far not come to light. --Durin 7 July 2005 21:01 (UTC)
