Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo → John R. Oishei Children's Hospital – This is the new version of the old women and childrens buffalo, it was renamed in 2017 and moved to a new location. Old John R. Oishei Children's Hospital page was a redirect to the health system. Andrew nyr (talk) 15:28, 3 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Oppose: Upon closer reading, the nominator seems to have just changed the subject of the article. Before today, the article was about the Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo, which was a hospital that was closed in 2017. The Oishei Children's Hospital is a different hospital in a different location. The other hospital was closed, not renamed. See, for example, this cited source, which clearly says these are two different hospitals. I suggest that the article be changed back to be about the WP:DEFUNCT hospital. If there is a desire to write an article about the new hospital, that is fine, but that can just be a separate article. Such an article used to exist, but was merged into Kaleida Health (apparently without discussion). The nominator blanked the resulting redirect today, and that blanking was then reverted. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:03, 3 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Favor The women and childrens buffalo was owned and operated by Kaleida health and was replaced with the new hospital. I am an inclusionist and I believe the article should be moved and merged with John R. Oshiei Children's Hospital. All patients from the old women and childrens buffalo were moved to the new one, all doctors moved to new one, and equipment was moved. It is essentially the same hospital except for the name change and new location. If The John R. Oshiei Foundation did not donate to the company, it would still probably have the same name. WCHOB IS history of the current OCH. And if you look at https://goo.gl/maps/jicF1fE1usxXaB629 of street view, the old hospital simply says "We've moved." They are the same hospital.
