Gender-Based Price Discrimination
Hello,

I just wanted to add that I am currently working on a page with a related topic to this one.

As of now there is only one Wikipedia page, titled “Price Discrimination,” that dedicates space to talking about, more specifically, gender-based pricing discrimination. This page generally is poorly structured, includes original research, and only has one very small section discussing gender-based pricing discrimination - which itself is poorly organized and confusing. The parent page has been rated Start-Class. I have been advised to create my own subpage, which I hope to title “Gender-Based Price Discrimination,” in lieu of revamping the entire parent page. I also intend to sum up my article and change the parent page’s discussion on examples of gender-based price discrimination. As of now, the subsection discusses three cities/states that have litigated the issue or researched the issue. I will most likely add that information (if substantiated by relevant and appropriate sources) to my subpage and remove it from the parent page. I think it tends to bog down the reader with facts instead of explaining the overall concept of gender-based price discrimination. I also believe it can easily be summed up on the parent page and discussed at length on the subpage.

I have already created the new page: Gender-Based Price Discrimination
