Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pam Provis
Appears to be primarily nonsense. While the two external links do indeed go to things written by someone of this name, most of the rest appears to be false. I can't find any proof that Iqaluit State University exists, that Provis wrote a paper called Latin Americans in Canada: A Chance to Develop the North (supposedly about Mexicans living in the far north of Canada), that it was later the basis for a government study, that there's a company called Provis and Sons Drilling Ltd, and so forth. I suspect someone has invented a fictional biography, borrowing the name to give it a sense of credibility. Vardion 01:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. All I can find on this woman is a comment she made to a BBC website. [1]
- Keep. I was a colleague of Provis' at Carleton University. The article seems to have a few minor inaccuracies, but is not a fictional biography. I'll try to get in contact with Provis to fix the errors. Jruta 07:25, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Iqaluit is a city, not a state. It's also in Canada which doesn't have states but provinces and territories. The section on unpaid library fines seem to point to an inside joke.
- Keep.I was just told about this from a friend who works with Pam through the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. I am not sure why this would be deleted. Besides two factual errors such as the Iqualuit State, should be Iqualuit City University. Besides that the only other error is that Provis and Sons Drilling Ltd was sold a few years back to Petro Canada. Ms. Provis’ work have been extremely important and influentional inside the department as well as in the Northern Development academic community.Powerinputreset
