  • Delete, take your pick: WP:N, WP:V, WP:ADVERT, etc. Lankiveil (talk) 10:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete yep, hits quite a few reasons for deletion. Alberon (talk) 10:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - non-notable as written. - BillCJ (talk) 18:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Debate(?) - Wasn't sure what to label this.. just wanted to chime in as the article creator. I'm new at Wiki editing, and I realize now that the page needs some kind of outside references or sources, which I will try to track down. I do believe that the company is notable and important to hospital and medical communities, though, and hopefully I'll have something better than that little blurb soon.

  • The next time I'm lying on the ground near Houston with body parts broken and severed, I'll be sure to check Wikipedia to assess my hospital transport options. Strong delete. ΨνPsinu 20:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Debate - I appreciate your sarcasm Psinu, I really do, but in actuality VIP assists hospitals and insurance companies directly.. transporting donated organs quickly, picking up injured people in remote locations (not a bunch of severed body parts) with injuries that need hospital attention of some kind. The injured guy himself would generally not be the one to call us. He/she would call the hospital, who would then in turn call us because they don't have the resources to get to him, or for whatever reason. Hope that clears a few things up. In regards to the Houston comment, it's an international company.. just based in Houston. Ringo380 (talk) 20:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete (but an idea on how to research more in order to find criteria for "keep" I haved edited WP aviation articles hundreds of times and also am aware of the benefits of keeping poorly written articles on good subjects in the hopes that they may be later improved (or I even improve them myself). I'm having difficulty finding notability of the company. I think they are not an airline or have their own fleet but provide in flight nursing care and arrange charter aircraft for the sick. Articles about small airlines do have an easier time of passing WP:NN because of the press coverage and reliable sources available but companies that provide medical services (such as your ophthalmologist's or cardiologist's office, a local medical oxygen supply company, or a local air ambulance) have a harder time to meet WP notability standards. Perhaps the authors/editors may channel their efforts into writing about air ambulances and shouldn't be discouraged or angry if the article is deleted? Either that or use Air Methods Company as a model. That company is a very large air ambulance company in the U.S. and has many google results, some of which seem like reliable sources.

  • Strong delete -- nothing in Google News' archive. Note also that this article's creator also nominated a competing company's article for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International SOS‎. --A. B. (talk) 17:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, abosolutely no indication of why this company is notable. Nuttah (talk) 19:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
