Talk:Atrium Health Floyd

Stop deleting

Wiki adminsitrators, please do not delete this article again. I created a stub months ago, and an admin deleted it without checking it. Now someone from FMC finally recreated it, but it was very basic and got autotagged for speedy removal. I was editing it to remove that tag and enhance the article when an admin removed it again. Since it was a viable article, it appears that the admin deleting it the second time also failed to check it before removing it.

If you have any specific objections to the content of the article, please post them here, don't just delete it. JD Lambert^(T|C) 22:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The first two paragraphs seem like copyvio's. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

That prose was written by someone working for FMC, so if copyright used to cover it, they have effectively moved this to the public domain. It was just posted today, so on a less legalistic note, feel free to rephrase, restructure, or otherwise improve it. JD Lambert^(T|C) 01:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
