Talk:International Ground Source Heat Pump Association

Status
8/19/15 - RC - This page is under construction. IGSHPA is an important standards and training concern for the ground source heat pump industry. Page will be fleshed out more within a few weeks for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clemenzi (talk • contribs)

Notability
9/25/15 - RC - Page has now been fleshed out to a good degree, and other Wiki pages that already cited IGSHPA have been linked. I am removing the notice of insufficiency that was added last month when the page was just being created. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clemenzi (talk • contribs)


 * The notice being talked about is Notability. I have restored it for now, because I believe the citations in the article do not satisfy the WP:GNG criteria. GNG requires multiple (at least two) sources, that satisfy all of the following: reliable source, secondary or tertiary source, independent of the subject, and have substantial coverage about the IGSHPA. As it stands, most sources in the article are not independent. The OGE source might be independent, but it doesn't have substantial coverage about IGSHPA &mdash; it merely mentions the IGSHPA in a quote attribution and links to their website.
 * The best kinds of sources for establishing notability are usually news articles written about the subject of the article. -- intgr [talk] 12:18, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

6/21/16 - RC - Once again I removed the Notability. There are more links and references. But more specifically to intgr comment, a suggestion of a lack of "independence" is hollow -- IGSHPA is the central organization in a whole "new" industry that was founded by Dr. Bose at Oklahoma State, and IGSHPA is the codified central training/certification body for the industry, thus all of the parties are interrelated by definition. However, this industry is not one of the key parts of the Net Zero Carbon/Energy Movement, and thus it is a key part of a very important industry globally. -- Clemenzi —Preceding undated comment added 13:28, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
