Keep. It only takes a second or two to click on the Google Scholar and Google Books links above which show us that this is a topic that has been subject to plenty of previous research, so the topic itself is not original research. Issues with the article content can be dealt with by normal editing. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Appropriate topic for inclusion. There are plenty of similar articles. See Category:Nursing by country (I would have used an internal link, but I don't know how to link to categories).

I'm sure references could be found to improve it. Article isn't very good in it's present state, but it needs editing, not deletion, Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 10:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just put a colon at the start of the link, like this: Category:Nursing by country. Olaf Davis (talk) 23:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although I agree that the topic is not original research, I see too many POV problems in the article. Removing them would leave us with a contentless stub; it's better to start over. I quote: " Nursing is important in every part of the world. In the countries like Pakistan special focus and attention has been provided on the health sector. [Pakistan nursing council]Pakistan nursing council always acts responsibly and professionally wherever the matter of health and medicine occurs." and "Pakistan’s government is striving hard to improve the medical and health care services in the country. Many possible measures have also been taken. There is a need of more nursing schools in Pakistan to ensure the quality nursing care."- Mgm|^(talk) 12:32, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strongest possible keep and rescue. This is yet another example of violations of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, WP:OUTCOMES, and WP:BEFORE. I am certian that this can be rescued quite easily, with a barely minimal effort. I've started fixing it a bit. Literally thousands of reliable sources are available online with very simple searchs. Take a look at this, that or yonder. Bearian (talk) 17:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If keep, move to Nursing in Pakistan. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:19, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article discusses healthcare and is clearly encyclopedic. Strong keep or merge into Healthcare in Pakistan article. As for POV, hell most articles are threatened with POV and OR. We just find reliable sources and expand the articles not nuking the entire thing. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 13:47, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable topic, needs some rewrite, but this is how newcomers write articles, and WP needs to encourage them. Some refs have been added. Novickas (talk) 13:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree, this is a notable topic, with plenty of coverage easily found on the topic. Topics aren't suppose to be perfect at the time of their creation. Things are worked on over time, and even then, there will always be someone out there who doesn't like the quality level. Not a reason to destroy what others have labored to create.
