Gender of rearing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced WP:DICDEF since 2009. While I suppose there could be an article about this topic, the fact that none has been written in 9 years suggests that the topic is, so far, adequately covered in the articles in the list of transgender-related topics. Delete with no prejudice to recreation as an actual article.  Sandstein  14:38, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sexuality and gender-related deletion discussions.  Dysklyver  15:00, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and WP:DICDEF if not expanded to a bona fide article, precisely as the nominator suggests. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:15, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary - this reads more like a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article. It is currently a one-sentence article that merely tells us what the term "gender of rearing" means and does not cite any sources. Vorbee (talk) 17:42, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Transwiki without sources makes little sense. Wiktionary needs sources too.  Sandstein   18:24, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, per Sandstein. I can imagine an encyclopedic article on the topic for sure but with no sources, there's no other conceivable result here.  A  Train talk 19:43, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BEFORE and WP:Deletion is not cleanup. We don't delete WP:Notable topics simply because the article has yet to be expanded and adequately sourced. Also, the topic is not simply about transgender issues. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 03:28, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment. "Sex of rearing" is the more commonly used term. Our existing article Sex assignment appears to cover an awkward combination of this subject and surgical assignment. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 04:01, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to sex assignment; it seems the larger context this is best seen as an aspect of. --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:04, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to sex assignment; it's kinda a shame because I actually think there's something to be said about this specifically. From what I gather, it's the way a child is raised regardless (although typically inline) with what the child identifies as. I feel this specific topic gets a bit lost in the enormity of the sex assignment article, but until something can be said about it, redirecting seems like the best option.
