Adults on the autistic spectrum

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Adults on the autistic spectrum has been tagged as an orphaned, uncited essay since June. The only articles that link to it are sociological and cultural aspects of autism and List of autism-related topics. There is no accurate, cited content in this article which isn't or can't be covered in autism, autism spectrum, sociological and cultural aspects of autism or List of people on the autistic spectrum. There is no cited content to be merged: the article should be deleted as part of the ongoing cleanup and consolidation of the walled garden and POV forks in the autism-related articles. There is no need for a separate article, when adult issues, separate from issues affecting all people with autism, can be covered at Sociological and cultural aspects of autism.

 * Delete This article doesn't seem to cover any material that can't be fully covered in the other autism related articles, and it doesn't have any cited content that's lacking from those articles.  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced essay that, as Sandy says, adds nothing that isn't covered better elsewhere. The short but unsourced list of people is a WP:BLP violation. Colin°Talk 08:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Needs sourcing, but that by itself is not areason to delete.  I removed the entire lsit of people as violating BLP. Bearian 16:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've read several of the recent reviews on autism, and this text is not going to be sourced to reliable sources.  It's  original research, synthesis, essay.  Anything that can be sourced can be added to List of people on the autistic spectrum, Sociological and cultural aspects of autism, autism spectrum or autism. There is no need for a separate article on adults, and not enough published info specific to adults with autism to warrant a separate article. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 17:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sociological and cultural aspects of autism. Skomorokh  incite 11:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Reads like an essay and doesn't seem improvable.  The content that can be cited could be merged.   Keeper  |  76  21:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
