The result was keep. Closing early, since the nominator was blocked for disruption and socking, and nobody else expresses a preference for deletion. Can be renominated by any serious editor.  Sandstein  16:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Dysgenics

Vote: Delete. This is not an actual scientific term, but a thinly veiled attempt to insert Racist content into Wikipedia. Absolute nonsense. ---Love, The Lord and Sovereign of Truth

I vote to fix rather than delete this article. Richard Lynn, who is cited in the article, is indeed rather racist in his works; that is presumably what the complaint was about. The concept of dysgenics, whether it is a valid theory or not, is worthy of note/discussion. Matthewslaney (talk) 01:01, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * keep, of course. Also, speedily close please, on grounds of this having been submitted by a sockpuppet account to begin with. --dab (𒁳) 11:51, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
