Completely without a source (other than some evidence that the term is used at those universities), little evidence that the term is not used for other concepts, and (if sourced) should be a section of doctoral advisor. (I can't decide whether the category should be S or T, so I'm specifically marking it as U (unsure).)Arthur Rubin (talk) 10:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep How can something be "completely without a source" and at the same time a term used at "those universities". How many universities' websites have to use this term before it is sourced? If necessary, ask for whatever arbitrary number tickles your fancy (10, 20, 30) and I'll supply them. Heres some of many more examples not mentioned: College of Charleston[1], University of Michigan[2], Kent State University [3], Indiana University[4], etc. etc. etc. etc. When this student explains in her dissertation she had a conversation with her cognate advisor [5], what she talking about?Edstat (talk) 15:13, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    When a student explains in her dissertation she had a conversation with her cognate advisor, who knows what it means. In the first link on google scholar search, the cognate advisor didn't know. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:41, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, I don't follow you. The first link of the google search that I see is the reference to wikipedia. Which link are you referring to? The point is, there are many universitys that differentiate between an advisor and a cognate advisor, each having forms and signatures required. There is a disseration of a student mentioned speaking with her cognate advisor, etc. Yet, you insist that such a thing doens't exist...So again, how many links to university web pages do you require. (BTW, many of these web pages define who is the cognate advisor).Edstat (talk) 16:05, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
