Dysphexia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Someone thought it would be a good idea to create an article about a non-existent disorder, apparently because it appears on a couple of government forms. Having a page for every goof and misspelling is a terrible idea for so many reasons. Ego White Tray (talk) 19:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep How else can people find out about this mythical condition? Of course the sole thing we have to cite is a primary source, but this is one of those articles where that inevitability is, of itself, encyclopaedic. This is a significant goof/typo/blunder, not just a run of the mill typing error. Fiddle   Faddle  19:35, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Has anyone written an article about this error on these forms? Has this error had any influence in society or medicine? Have doctors reported that their patients are complaining about having this disorder? Are we obligated to change the redirect Saxomophone into an article because of a goof by Homer in The Simpsons? This is what notability is about, that someone actually cares about it, not merely that it exists. Ego White Tray (talk) 19:52, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * delete It's not up to use to do the research to show that the one reference to this in the literature is most likely a mistake. Mangoe (talk) 20:02, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per Mangoe I do not see why this non-notable error should be worthy of a Wikipedia article when it can only be based from original research and a primary source. Samwalton9 (talk) 20:11, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * We don't know that this is significant without documentation. Notability is not subjective.  I've had a look, and I cannot find any sources documenting this error.  And the primary source that I did find, a form from 1971, directly contradicted the article, in that it was clearly a mis-spelling of dyslexia in context.  Wikipedia no more needs my personal made-directly-in-Wikipedia analysis that a U.S. government form from 1971 made an error than it needs the made-directly-in-Wikipedia zero-concrete-information analysis here.  Subjects should have been already documented by the world at large outwith Wikipedia, and from what I can find, this one has not been.  Uncle G (talk) 21:04, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
