 * Hate to say it, but this article is really about yawning, not the study of yawning.  E Eng  11:05, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I completely disagree. This article follows the format of other "study of" articles. Discussing the main theories involved in the study is routine formatting. Heck, a section directly describing the subject of the field is also common. In this case, that would involve the physiology of yawning. I haven't added that yet, but I can. Look at Endocrinology for an example. And, obviously, the history section of this topic isn't going to have much, since it is a new field. The history is based largely around the research done by the three main people in the field, Olivier Walusinski, Wolter Seuntjens, and Robert Provine. Silver  seren C 20:18, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Endocrinology is a vast and ramified field in which work hundreds of thousands of researchers and specialist practitioners. "Chasmology" is a neologism, coined by this guy Walusinski, not in the OED and producing ten (count 'em -- ten!) hits on Gscholar (one if which is a typo). There's absolutely nothing in the article that wouldn't be completely at home in yawning. Unless you can come up with more sources I'm considering taking it to AfD.

 * EEng, if you aren't going to take this to AfD, then the review needs to continue. Please decide as soon as possible; it's already been over three weeks. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:40, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
