Dual-role transvestism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:N. We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. This article has always been a poor-quality stub with poor sourcing, and in addition, this diagnosis is being phased out of the ICD. I've created a new section in the Crossdressing article that covers the topic: Cross-dressing. WanderingWanda (talk) 15:48, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep – plugging this term into Google scholar returns just shy of two-hundred hits. A lot of them are passing mentions, but I'd be shocked if there wasn't enough content in there to add up to GNG. That having been said, I don't really have an opinion on redirecting to the above section on WP:NOPAGE grounds. signed,Rosguill talk 20:49, 11 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep The nominator has been edit-warring this matter; was reverted by multiple editors and now is forum-shopping by bringing the matter here.  As the topic was a formal medical diagnosis, referenced in numerous sources, the suggestion that it should be deleted seems absurd. Andrew D. (talk) 22:17, 11 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - an illness formally diagnosed by the nationally-recognised American Psychiatric Association, and supported by eminent WP:RS. XavierItzm (talk) 00:48, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep because it is still a medical diagnosis, and to not have an article on a diagnosis would be unprecedented as far as I know; and also because diagnoses meet WP:GNG by their very nature. Any diagnosis, after all, must have medical peer-reviewed literature describing it. I don't think NOPAGE should apply in this case, as medical conditions are best served by having their own articles, rather than being buried in an article mainly about a societal topic. All that said, though this is not a reason for deletion, the article does have room for improvement. It's not a problem if it remains short however. -Crossroads- (talk) 03:01, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
