 * Delete Completely fails WP:ORG. Indeed, the sole item on the 'list' is a dental organisation, not even a doctors'... and noting that A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization which this even lacks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.139.189 (talk) 12:55, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect - Consider List of medical associations - WP:CSC and WP:LISTCOMPANY allow for lists of non-notables but this is better served in the aforementioned article (which has already got 4 notable orgs). Conflicted about the redirect, not sure if its a useful title. has recently been editing this page, their opinion would be useful here. Olly say hi 17:09, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I just pruned the hell out of it, that's all. I don't think ORG applies: this isn't an ORG, it's a list of ORGs. LISTCOMPANY is interesting and has an even more interesting history; I think it is not a good idea to have such a guideline (non-notables may be included) because it leaves open the possibility that these lists become directories, which is indeed what happened. Moreover, the status of this guideline was never really agreed on; see Wikipedia_talk:Stand-alone_lists/Archive_3, a discussion that should be revisited. For now, I think your redirect is a fine idea. It would be better, of course, if we had more articles on medical associations in India... Drmies (talk) 18:52, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply Drmies, as a much more experienced editor, this perspective (esp re LISTCOMPANY) was needed. I was pretty confused about this myself, because LISTCOMPANY seems to conflict quite directly with WP:NOTDIR. Before I noticed the List of medical associations page, I was wavering on a weak keep for this reason, and as you say, including a request for interested editors to establish these Indian med association articles. I agree that ORG can't apply here. At least for now, further work could continue inside the aforementioned page, with a possibility for establishment of a separate list in future, should enough notable org articles arise Olly say hi 23:46, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
