Talk:Real-life experience

Too Niche?
"Real-life experience" is often a turn of phrase used to denote experience in the workforce as opposed to education, although it has a variety of uses. As a brief example, a Google search for "real life experience" +job currently returns 21 times the amount of results as "real-life experience" +transsexual (at 42,500 results) and less than 1/50th of the general count. In comparison, there are over five times as many results for "real-life experience" +god. A bit simplistic of an estimate maybe, but as an article simply named "real-life experience" that turns up whenever the term is searched, we should expect that 98% of people arriving at this article through web searches are not looking for this article. The term as used here seems to have evolved from the more general turn of phrase, although the article fails to demonstrate that it is anything more official than a turn of phrase within the transsexual community.

Merge with Transitioning (transgender)
I am planning to merge this article with Transitioning (transgender) as being the most closely related article on Wikipedia. The article has fewer than 50 edits in 7.5 years and is not well-developed. Only 8 article pages link here, one of which is a mistaken link (related to my Too Niche? comment above). If there are no objections or recommendations for a different merge, I will execute this in a couple days. Thanks for reading. Theinactivist (talk • contribs) 21:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
