Noctor[edit]

Non-notable neologism. Sources are provided, but please note that they are all either blogs or reader comments (!) on a newspaper website. Lankiveil (talk) 12:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:NEO. Although, for what it's worth, I slightly disagree on the blog issue here. One of the blogs ("NHS Blog Doctor") appears to have high recommendations from a number of notable news sources, but I don't consider that a firm qualification in any event.

Keep - Good grief, the article was only 8 minutes old when you slapped a delete order on it. Give it a chance to be padded out a bit! --Amdsweb (talk) 12:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment How padded out the article is is irrelevant; neologisms are forbidden. If anything, this should be listed at Wiktionary. Alloranleon (talk) 12:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, if I thought there was any chance of this article ever developing into something other than cataloguing a non-notable neologism, I would have left it alone. However, the chances of this article being padded out to meet criteria are practically nil (as always, I will cheerfully withdraw the nom if notability is successfully asserted).

Keep - The term 'Noctor' is in widespread use in the medical profession, and also on medical forum sites. This term is slowly creeping into the media, and I suspect the AfD has been suggested by someone in such a pseudo-job.

- Comment Assume good faith before leaving snarky useless comments like this one. JuJube (talk) 11:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
KeepI do not think the term is a neologism. Noctors have only appeared in the last 12 months within the NHS and represent a totally new job within the field of medicine. They are their own, new, entity rather than rebranding of an existing job. As such I do not believe that noctor is a neologism.--James Halpern (talk) 08:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
