Website

The info box lists the website as vanguardhealth.com which now lands on a domain "buy this domain" site. This needs some sort of resolution edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaEremita (talk • contribs) 09:30, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

I'm having trouble understanding why a holding company for twelve large-market hospitals across the United States would not be considered ipso facto notable. In any event, I've added the additional information that the company is in the Fortune 1000. (I created this article following the redlink from MetroWest Medical Center, which is two of those twelve hospitals and has apparently already survived a deletion review once.) 121a0012 02:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strictly speaking, a speedy deletion isn't about notability, but about the article not making claims to notability. At any rate, being in the Fortune 1000 is one of the arguable criterion. Speedy exits stage left. Coren 02:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership

It appears from SEC filings that Vanguard is currently owned by a private-equity investor group led by Blackstone Group, but which includes significant minority holdings. I'm not sure how to describe that in the article, though. The easiest document to find the description of Vanguard's capital structure seems to be an S-4 registration statement from late 2004 (after the takeover). I did not research Vanguard's capital structure prior to going private. 121a0012 03:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
