 * Keep MRCPysch is actually a particularly notable qualification as it is the basic requirement for practicing psychiatry independently in the United Kingdom. I understand how you might think this is a single institution but in reality the royal college qualifications are training across every UK hospital. I think an explanation of a qualifying qualification to practice as a psychiatrist is both a useful and notable topic. See also Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom Membership of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners. This article needs substantial edits though. PainProf (talk) 01:31, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Additionally there is scope for expansion as the curriculum is subject to substantial critical analysis due to its role in psychiatric training. Example Sources for expansion.   PainProf (talk) 15:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I have since improved the article by including further sources, and removing extraneous curricular details, focusing on the core of the qualification PainProf (talk) 23:25, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the article is in much better shape now. I'm also inclined to the suggestion by below about name change. Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists could be the main name with MRCPsych could be a redirect link. What do you think? Let me know and I will withdraw the deletion nomination to proceed with page move.  GreaterPonce665  (TALK) 21:12, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good plan to me. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Makes sense to me PainProf (talk) 21:39, 19 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. I agree with PainProf. This is a notable national-level qualification and we have similar articles for other such qualifications. I think this article should however be renamed to Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in line with other articles. The problem here is with the article's references, but this is not a reason for deletion. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:13, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
