Contested deletion

I do not see how this is promotional at all. Purely informative... Can you give me a specific reason for its removal? --TheWikiCreator7 (talk) 21:17, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. There are actually two issues with this article. Firstly, it is unambiguously promotional - even if the only purpose is to "inform," well that's the same thing. Secondly, there is no indication of significance - in other words, why should Wikipedia have an article about this company? I suggest using the Article Creation wizard in future, and submitting your drafts for review. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:19, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Consider renaming to "DaVita"

The article for DaVita redirects to this page.

DaVita the company is a Fortune 500 company publically listed on the NYSE as DVA^[1]. DaVita Medical Group is a subsidary that was sold to UnitedHealth Group in 2017. I propose that DaVita be the subject of the article, and DaVita Medical Group should be a subsection within it.

Other options:

1. Redirect DaVita to Davita Inc. (only) and use a hatnote to point to DaVita Medical Group.

2. Make DaVita a disambiguation page with links to both Davita Inc. and DaVita Medical Group

DaVita and Political Lobbying

It might be worth mentioning the role DaVita has played in lobbying California politics. In 2018, Prop 8 was opposed by DaVita and Fresenius who spent a combined $111 million to defeat a bill aimed at limiting companies profits off of dialysis at 15%. DaVita also pays the AKF to entice patients to sign up for their private insurance plan that charges ~4% more than medicare.

Pretty scammy and well documented on many sources.
