I propose that St. Mary's/Duluth Clinic Health System be merged into Essentia Health. As far as I can tell, St. Mary's/Duluth Clinic Health System no longer exists as an independent entity. All of the External Links on St. Mary's/Duluth Clinic Health System go directly to Essentia's home page. Apparently, Essentia acquired SMDC by January 2010 [1]. Checking the Internet Archive, the last time SMDC had a website was January/February 2012; ever since then the URL flips to Essentia. Since SMDC is a nonexistent entity, and since the SMDC article is a mess and uncited, it seems logical to simply merge it (that is, what little of it may be salvageable and applicable) into Essentia Health.

Support as nominator, per my rationale in the nomination. Softlavender (talk) 01:30, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. If a hospital or hospital system was once notable, it remains notable. See Category:Defunct hospitals in the United States for many hospitals that remain notable despite having been closed, such as Essex County Hospital Center. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:19, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a hospital, Eastmain. It's a former network of more than 20 hospitals/clinics in three states that no longer exists, and in fact hasn't existed since 2011 at the very latest. Edited to add: Not to mention, there are absolutely no citations in the article, except for the fact that the network merged with another network in 2004.
