Blood memory

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The article seems to have no basis in fact. It cites legitimate scholarly sources in order to support a pseudoscientific notion of genetic memory. I will note that the article is written by someone who chose the name Bloodmemory, who has only ever edited this article. Bananabananabanana (talk) 13:53, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Genetic memory (psychology). We already have an article on this stuff and this adds little, being pretty much incoherent. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:13, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with Genetic memory (psychology), condensing this article down to a small section or paragraph. Some of the sources are useful but subject matter doesn't appear to merit a full article. Interesting enough from a historical viewpoint to warrant at least a mention IMO. - Rushyo  Talk  14:35, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect Seems to cover same topic as Genetic memory (psychology). If it can be shown to be clearly different, it might merit its own article due to the included refs, despite the weakness of this article at present (just because something's untrue or pseudo-science isn't reason for deletion). --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:21, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge - currently this is a WP:FORK, and even in the lead, admits is the same thing as 'genetic memory'. In common parlance, 'blood' is used an a synomym for 'genetics' or DNA. Bearian (talk) 19:23, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
