No notability is claimed, nor apparent from the descriptions. There are no citations. While citations may be found, it doesn't seem probably from the description, that the place is sufficiently notable for an article. Therefore, no redirect should be made either. It would seem like WP:SPAM for the business. Student7 (talk) 14:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Article is about a nursing home in Quebec. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
not a nursing home in Quebec, but the nursing home system in Quebec. That is why I put the merge tag. How many tags do we need for one small stub? Merge, delete, speedy delete? Current article is a definition (WP:NAD), whose subject is already covered under Nursing home. UnQuébécois (talk) 18:47, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable. Could possibly have been speedied under A7, since the article "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". --MelanieN (talk) 15:45, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete — I CSD-A'7ed it... we'll see if an admin will agree. If not, consider this a delete per nom and MelanieN. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 17:26, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Potentially notable topic, but its just a piece of a bigger picture. CHSLD has a subsection currently in the retirement home article on the French wikipedia, see fr:Maison_de_retraite#Qu.C3.A9bec, the paragraph on "Les CHSLD" describes that care level. redirects to it as well. Clearly the topic deserves coverage somewhere within the context of our coverage of Quebec's healthcare or retirement care infrastructure[1].--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:36, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Nursing home and expand, as per original proposal, the original reference was to the government of Quebec website about the healthcare system, in brief, clearly states:
Residential and long-term care centres (CHSLD) provide services both to people with decreasing autonomy and the elderly.
Anyone who would have checked the reference would have known that it was not a single business. I started to look at improving the original "stub" article then realized that everything that would be covered is just a duplication of Nursing home.--UnQuébécois (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there's no apparent need to distinguish nursing homes in Quebec from nursing homes anywhere else, by which I mean that if there is something special about Quebec nursing homes, it should have been in the article. PK T(alk) 22:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would oppose a redirect or merge. The chance of someone searching for this French acronym in the English Wikipedia approaches zero. --MelanieN (talk) 23:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you are an English speaking person that has any contact with English Media in Québec, for example. --UnQuébécois (talk) 23:34, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there's no one in Canada who speaks English, I forget about that. sigh. I really don't understand people sometimes.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 21:20, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No need to get sarcastic. Québécois is quite correct that the acronym is used in both the French and English press in Québec. However there is still no need for a Wikipedia article to define the term IMO.--MelanieN (talk) 22:51, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is nothing more than a French–English translation of the term: centre d'hébergement de soins de longue durée → long-term care facility. This article is not about any specific facility. There is nothing to merge. A redirect does not make any sense. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 17:53, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
