Wikipedia is not a dictionary and this is a neologism. Previous AfD was over thirteen years ago, so I assume the G4 speedy deletion criterion no longer applies, given the new sourcing. Given "Noctors use as a surname, it was slightly difficult to find sourcing, but of the ones I could find, they were either straight dictionary definitions, or opinion pieces in blogs that used the term rather than covered it in significant detail (see examples here and here). The sources in the table don't use the term and merely cover this anesthetist/anesthesiologist debate.

A possible alternative to deletion is to transwiki the page, but it seems like they don't want the term either, given its deletion twice as a protologism. Sdrqaz (talk) 21:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. This looks like it was created to contrast POVs on the anesthetist/anesthesiologist issue. Cnilep (talk) 02:13, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Appears to be a non-notable neologism. J I P  &#124; Talk 22:29, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and Salt per WP:NEO. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Recommend salting as this was deleted once before and the article keeps being re-created. 4meter4 (talk) 18:50, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
