Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Masculism

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 speedy keep for the same reasons that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Misandry was closed. Looking at Special:Contributions/207.62.186.233 it is clear that this is a pattern of recurrent vandalism. Uncle G 15:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: These are valid points and cited as well or better than many Wikipedia articles. Those who are opposed to this sort of information are terrified that we may actually be advocating equal rights rather than gender privilege. Males have been exploited as success objects and considered expendable soliders and factory drones for at least as long as women have been exploited sexually. Many Feminists are terrified that their campaign of propaganda is being exposed. Females are every bit as violent and vindictive as any male. Keep it if you really believe in equal rights.
• Keep: This crankish, resentful excuse for an ideology has enough proponents and enough of a literature to be notable.Rorybowman 18:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: I agree with Rorybowman - Masculism is a well-documented social movement, though it has many opponents. The article is pretty well written and cited, and many people can benefit from the information it contains. Rather than discussing why we should not delete this article, I recommend someone give us a single reason for deletion (as outlined in Wikipedia's deletion policy) that we should delete this article. At the moment it seems someone recommended this article for deletion for selfish political reasons rather than informed, objective ones. theshadymonk 20:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep:I think this article is well needed and in no way should be deletedBronayur 05:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - Only one citation is currently given. This article would need many more citations added from reputable secondary sources, and in that case, I would probably change my mind on this. Smee 06:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep This article was tagged for Afd by an open IP [1] who also tried to speedy delete Misandry with the edit summary "Wimmin are incapable of hatred. Misandry is an artificial construct of the Patriarchy created because they hate it when feminists assert them..." [2] (unfortunately by vandalizing the Afd but possibly out of confusion.) Someone clearly misunderstands process, so I'm assuming good faith, but this is WP:POINT. I'm far from a fan of this ideology or its adherents, but the article should stay.
