This article is not encyclopedic, relates to a neologism that is not commonly-accepted terminology or notable, and is primarily OR. LT910001 (talk) 22:21, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep-- I feel deletion is a bit harsh for this topic. I cannot access the pdf sources as an off campus login pops up and one of the text books. The other text book does talk about gender bias in the diagnosis of personality disorders. I believe there are sources which relate to this topic, even if they do not use this exact phrase. This is a list of PubMed results with "gender bias diagnosis" in the title, and many appear to be related to this topic: I therefore feel it is worthwhile to preserve this and hopefully in time interested parties will improve it and add WP:MEDRS sources.

 * Might be an idea to rename the article "Gender bias in diagnosis" or even merge it to a subsection of Medical diagnosis. Lesion  ( talk ) 11:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Support merge, I would support a merge or rename as you propose. LT910001 (talk) 11:48, 19 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep, good deal of copyediting needed but has good source coverage. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 00:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete as an insufficiently distinguished sub-field of gender studies or Merge with Mental disorders and gender and Sex differences in medicine which address the same topics in more typical wiki-fashion, describing research at the intersection of two subjects rather than proposing an umbrella term for the practices implicated in both. Perhaps if there's enough to support it an additional Gender differences in medical diagnoses could be forked. --Rhododendrites (talk) 17:47, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, through I wonder if rename to Gender-bias in diagnosing wouldn't be better. I am not convinced there is a valid merge target; the subject appears somewhat notable and well defined (through the article is not written clearly enough to make even its very topic easy to understand for most casual readers). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * "Gender bias in diagnosis" would be more correct? And question need for a hyphen between gender and bias... Lesion  ( talk ) 09:41, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep but fix This article could be done better, yes it references sources and links to pages in a relevant manner but the wall of text needs to be more concise and easier to read. ~  Frosty   ( Talk page )  Icons-flag-au.png 05:44, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
