Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Involuntary celibacy (4th nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete and salt. The primary arguments on the Keep side were that sufficient sources existed to indicate notability, and that the coverage presented (and discussed at length here) was enough to qualify as significant coverage of the subject. Many editors responded that a large number of the listed sources either did not discuss the term as a concept, but rather happened to use the two words together, could not be considered secondary sources because the author defined the term, or were simply not reliable.

The more numerous arguments in favor of Delete included the article being a Coatrack, that it was an insufficiently sourced Fringe theory, and that the article in its present state included Original Research in that it attempted to tie multiple disparate sources, some having different definitions of the topic, into one cohesive treatment of the subject. Additionally a large number of editors see the subject as a Neologism.

There were arguments in favor of merging some of the content to other articles, but no consensus that this article in and of itself should be merged to a particular location.

Overall we find there is a stronger consensus to delete the page and prevent its recreation. The deletion arguments are more numerous, better based in policy, and less well refuted. The consensus to salt the page comes not only from a large number of delete voters, but also a number of keep voters, who note the amount of community time wasted with the continual recreation of this page.
