 * Keep – The topic passes WP:GNG with ease. This term refers to a type of organization, patient care provider, medical facility and business entity that has received a great deal of coverage in various contexts; much more than a simple dictionary definition. Source examples include, but are not limited to:, , , , , , , , . North America1000 19:31, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, so now it's a dictionary definition with random Google Scholar search results pasted onto the bottom. So much better. Not. --Calton | Talk 10:45, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * No, they're select links that cover aspects of the topic in detail; not random. I take my source assessment and contributions to AfD seriously. Did you actually read the articles? Check out WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP: AfD is not an article expansion service. Perhaps you can donate an hour or two of your time to expand the article. It seems like you expect others to do so.

 * If you actually took your contributions to sources and AFD seriously, you might have actually sourced the article instead of lazily doing nothing more than pasting your Google search results to the bottom of the article. But that's the ARS way, I guess. --Calton | Talk 13:05, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not an ARS member. I actually have slightly expanded the article; it appears you didn't bother to actually view it. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages.

 * Keep. This definitely passes WP:GNG. As indicated by North America's comment above, a cursory google search will reveal hundreds (if not thousands) of sources that substantiate the notability of this topic. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:16, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Uh huh. --Calton | Talk 10:45, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * "As indicated by North America's comment above" is quite proper, because there are many sources there that provide significant coverage about the topic in reliable sources. North America1000 11:14, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * To clarify, this article passes WP:GNG comfortably because the articles cited by North America show that this topic "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". It sounds like the nominator is citing WP:NOTDIC to support their argument for deletion, but WP:NOTDIC does not apply when a "word or phrase in and of itself passes Wikipedia's notability criteria as the subject of verifiable coverage by reliable sources" (see WP:WORDISSUBJECT). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:05, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep The topic is referenced and is not a dictionary definition so the nomination is mistaken. There is an issue though – there are two sorts of teaching clinics – medical clinics using trainee medics and teacher training facilities, which provide professional training and development for educational teachers.  But sorting that out is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Andrew D. (talk) 21:08, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
