Fails WP:GNG. It's an exam, and that's about it. Bbb23 (talk) 18:27, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Yes, I know, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but the MCAT is also "just an exam" if that's how you want to look at it. Egypt is a pretty large country so there must be plenty of people sitting this exam, so you would expect some news coverage. And that's what I see in the AR wiki version of the article: 1 2. It's a WP:GNG pass based on that alone, and probably a further search done using the Arabic name would turn up more hits. FOARP (talk) 19:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Two things: your first diff doesn't work. There's a difference between an exam to get into school and a licensing exam. I would think there's going to be a lot more coverage about the MCAT, the LSAT, or the SAT (broader), than about individual licensing exams. In the US we license professionals by state. Do those exams have articles (just curious)? --Bbb23 (talk) 19:32, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've fixed the link and it should hopefully work for you now. I don't see any real difference between a university-entry exam and a licensing exam, since both are ultimately just exams, and if you've sat both kinds of exams you'll see how the experience doesn't really differ that much (except that there's typically a lot more riding on the licensing exam and you're often having to hold down a full-time-job when you do it, so they're way more stressful, and often more difficult). In my field USPTO registration examination is a stand-alone article, though the actual exam I most recently passed (a gruelling 4-day pen-and-paper affair with up to 7 hours each day spent in writing in exams) is discussed under a more general article (but would be a WP:GNG pass as a stand-alone article). If you can propose a target for this to be merged to I could consider flipping to merge, but the WP:GNG pass makes this a definite do-not-delete. FOARP (talk) 09:57, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant coverage. -- rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 00:06, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What about 1 2 3 ? All are WP:NEWSORG sources, and all are stories focusing entirely on the exam. FOARP (talk) 08:10, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
