Medical Board of California

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Questionably notable and improvable subunit of the California Department of Consumer Affairs as the best links I found were only passing mentions and otherwise unusable for notability here, here, here and here. At best, this should be merged however much needed to the CDCA but if this is notable and improvable as a separate article, I'm willing to close as such.

 * Keep: I found many sources on Google News and Google Scholar that mention either "California Medical Board" or "Medical Board of California". Many of these seem to cover the board in depth if not as an integral aspect of a story or analysis. Scholarly:, , , , . News: , , , , . There are many more sources. Obviously, the WP article needs to be edited to reflect these sources. Delta13C (talk) 20:34, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep It seems to me that any serious encyclopedia of broad scope really ought to have articles on this sort of topic. If the notability guidelines say it should be deleted they are, in this case, offering very poor guidance. Of course it is a great pity the article is not up to standard – in particular it lacks satisfactory references. However Delta has shown that there are suitable references available.

 * Keep Article needs help but the medical licensing board for the largest state with the largest physician pool is without a doubt notable right on the surface.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 05:03, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
