Medical Council of India MCI Screening Test

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article was previously deleted for copyvio. Author claims they have re-written it but it is a particularly unclear article. The same author also created another page which I have just nominated for speedy that appeared to boast that this article could not be deleted because no speedy criterea apply to it. The author also seems to have had issues in the past (see talk page history, since author has recently blanked it.)  Wacky Wace  you talkin' to me? 16:49, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

After getting deleted my earlier article on subject of Medical Council of India Screening test citing copy right violation with some site reference but then created new page with whole different content. Subject matter is very much important to all those thousands of Indian student who spends six year and thousands of in studying Medicine out side India. Wikipedia is used like first information source for many such subject matter. Given subject matter is not at all covered no where else on Wikipedia and can not be deleted. Please remove your deletion tag from newly created article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhaiyaji2 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

It seems some of administrator with some click (kill !!) privileges on Wikipedia are delete hungry! In stead of appreciating contributors for covering some untouched useful subject, they just keep busy in some time going in totally opposite 180 degree direction from very own core principle and importance of Wikipedia. Wikipedia has flourished to so successful height only because it is always first source of such information on given like subject which you just want to delete citing one or other irrelevant reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhaiyaji2 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete or userfy until completely rewritten. (See below) This article is part how-to, part essay, with way too much POV and way too much detail. It might be possible to do an acceptable article that would be much briefer and more focused, like the one about American/Canadian IMG testing, namely Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates. Note to the author of the article: I know this information is very important to those who are in the situation of being a Foreign Medical Graduate and wanting to practice in India, but there are other sources on the internet where they can get the information. A brief article here could contain a link to the appropriate webpage with all the details. But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it has standards; see WP:What Wikipedia is not. --MelanieN (talk) 01:05, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - I have stubbed and rewritten using reliable sources. The test was fairly controversial and was subject to litigation that went all the way up to the Indian Supreme Court. It has generate a large amount of coverage in Indian newspapers (thus satisfying GNG). The content issues can be addressed by educating the new editors not to add syllabi and regulations. (currently an external link has been provided to those details). Also it has to be moved to Medical Council of India Screening Test with a redirect from MCI Screening Test--Sodabottle (talk) 05:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks will survive now. Every thing is happening so fast on wikipedia that just during process of Re-editing only, some thing new comes out making busy for nothing!! Said article was free from any tag but got dragged here same movement when I declared at old deleted page of this new creation with so many new tag like - WP:NPV, WP:N, WP:RS, WP:What Wikipedia is not and don’t know what more will follow. Now thanks to Sodabottle who has nicely trimmed it to size and manner it should and now I believe it will survive at least on Wikipedia contrary to my assumption that so (too!!) many expert admins (cook) with privileged click may will -cake it or crash it!!--Bhaiyaji2 (talk) 07:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. New version is looking a lot better, and the subject certainly seems notable enough. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:52, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * PS: I agree with the move and redirect too. (And as an aside, it's good to see India-related articles being developed towards good quality - that very important part of the world is severely under-represented here). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:10, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Changing my opinion to Keep based on the rewrite done by Sodabottle. Also agree with the proposed rename. --MelanieN (talk) 23:30, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep The re-write has made the article a lot better, along with the reliable sources and assertation of notability.  WackyWace  converse 08:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * keep. I removed delete tag mark earlier on this page without knowing what to act just for the purpose for keep. Now hope acting in correct manner. --DrSurgeon7 (talk) 14:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * DrSurgeon7, I'm glad you understand. Please don't remove any tags or take any action. We are just here to discuss. A Wikipedia administrator will make the decision about this discussion and this article, and the administrator will do any removing or closing that needs to be done. --MelanieN (talk) 15:24, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. How long it take to ‘get rid’ from such tag after some body (may be some time even mistakably) hit the wrong button  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Click4 (talk • contribs) 11:42, 27 July 2010 (UTC)  — Click4 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
