Not convinced of notability. Most sources are job descriptions or how-to's. The Banner talk 12:00, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What should I do to improve this article? I am new to Wikipedia and is still not clear about placing references or in - text citations. Could anyone help please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephine Roy (talk • contribs) 13:43, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Some job descriptions, e.g. Chief executive officer, are worthy of articles. This isn't one of them. Monitoring exams for cheating does not a career make.

Keep - sure it is not a career but it is a distinctive and notable function. The article needs a whole load of work but there are more than sufficient sources available, some of which are in the article, to meet WP:GNG. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:12, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Some of the comments above seem to make "give a dog a bad name and beat him for it" - Exam Invigilator is clearly not a profession or a career. Mostly, it's a role that university or high school teachers or graduate students take on for a few hours a year. That said, it's not a trivial role nor is it intrinsically part of a teacher's regular job, like marking exam papers. Also, the article meets the basic principles of WP:GNG - the subject has plenty of verifiable secondary sources, it's not temporary or transient, and none of the subject-specific guidelines seem to provide a reason to AFD it. Furthermore, merging it into Test (assessment) doesn't seems sensible as the latter article seems to violate WP:SIZE already. Fiachra10003 (talk) 20:48, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article needs work, but it has enough 3rd party sources to be notable. Frmorrison (talk) 21:09, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
