- Reduce and Keep - I agree that the list of Dental Surgeries do not belong here - particularly as the page professes to be a list of major hospitals. I'll discuss the article on Monday with one of my colleagues who did her medical training in Karachi. In the meantime I've tagged the Comments subpage of the Talk page for CSD - G11 (Spam).

- Reduce and Keep, Conditional pending new developments, agree with Beeswaxcandle. No robust, ie government or medical society, external link to listings as yet. If one is found, then appropriately link to it elsewhere and delete. Anarchangel (talk) 21:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Reduce and keep, as my intuition tells me that "Muhammad Dental Clinic Basera Apartment block-2" is probably not a "major hospital". DHowell (talk) 06:26, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - OK. As promised I've had a discussion with my colleague. She says that the Public Institutions are major hospitals and that most of the Dental Surgeries are not. She went through the list of Private Institutions and marked the ones she knew to be major - unfortunately I can't do anything to the article based on her list as that would be WP:OR. I haven't deleted any of the institutions and we really need someone who has the time (and reads Urdu) to go through the list and look for sources. I have tidied up the mixture of bold and non-bold text and have removed addresses where I could. I have also heavily cut the Dental Surgeries to just the three that appear to be hospitals.
