I couldn't find sources to prove this is notable, Google put a signmaking company higher up on the returns too. Sending WP:APPNOTE to Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) who tagged it for notability. Boleyn (talk) 09:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm sorry but I believe notifying is Arthur Norton (1958- ) is contrary to WP:APPNOTE. It does not match any of the four accepted reasons for alerting"concerned editors" but rather contravenes "...must not be selected on the basis of their opinions." But you've been upfront about it so there's no reason to tag this for canvassing, I suppose. And you have notified the creator, in good faith.

  • @Shawn in Montreal: Canvassing is the worst policy we have. The more people are notified, the better. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:02, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I was notified because I removed the notability tag. I agree to have it deleted. It seems like it was just a coat hanger article for a link to sports surgeon. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:50, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • My apologies. The nominator seems to think you had applied it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:26, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Limiting the search to term+knee on Google Books gives 2 hits (here is the one with full preview:Bruce Reider; George Davies; Matthew T Provencher (15 December 2014). Orthopaedic Rehabilitation of the Athlete: Getting Back in the Game. Elsevier Health Sciences. pp. 1054–. ISBN 978-1-4557-3743-7.). The other one isGrace Maureen Chaisson-Stewart (1985). Depression in the Elderly: An Interdisciplinary Approach. Wiley. p. 175. ISBN 978-0-471-87059-3.. Both seem to be mentions in passing. Nothing in scholar. Nothing on the general web. Whatever this is, and whatever the source of this term is, it seems to fail notability. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:02, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - the term seems to have been coined by Dr. David Cooper of the Knee Center. I can find no reference to it elsewhere online, so it fails the notability criteria. A "Cooper's Test" is a quite different, endurance-related test. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
