I don't think there's enough information at the ortho surgery page, or ever going to be enough, to warrant having a separate article. It should be merged into here and redirect. 23:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Non-notable. Adam9007 (talk) 17:38, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I would argue that Mallinckrodt is a notable in multiple regards. It is a major academic radiology center, recognized independently of the Washington University school of medicine as one of the top training programs for diagnostic radiology.
  PET imaging. Lastly, the center is one of the major providers of radiology services in the St Louis area, and has historical and eponymous relation to the Mallinckrodt chemical company which played a major role in the history of the city. I feel like I see other wikipedia articles with must less notability.
  
  That being said, I concede that the institution's "significant coverage" is composed of academic journal articles^[2] and a historical account^[3] which are authored or published by Washington university affiliates. So I understand that counter argument. Dr G (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply

• It depends on what is meant by "notable". IMO, if youre in the field of clinical medical imaging, then you know MIR is notable. It's a heavyweight in the field. I added an article on their 60th anniversary published by AJR (a premier journal in Radiology), and inserted the institute's ranking (#5) in 2018, as per US News and World Report. That right there makes it notable.Nightryder84 (talk) 06:33, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given that independent notability has been established. Klbrain (talk) 20:36, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
