Homohysteria

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparent non-notable neologism - no sources that aren't by the same dude. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 00:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The subject is explored fairly well in The Declining Significance of Homophobia and it seems to be an issue in sports management here and explored by some when analysing consumer behaviour here. These are not passing mentions.  A theory has been developed around the concept.  Because of this I am opposed to deletion but if it does happen the gist of it should be merged into internalized homophobia. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. The sources derive from reputable publishers. Plus its written neutrally and in an encyclopedic manner. Also there are literally thousands of neologisms on wikipedia. They haven't been deleted because their usage is gaining traction. Pwolit iets (talk) 08:20, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * merge to homophobia. There are no MEDRS sources on this putative condition, and nothing in PscyNet (can't save searches - that is a link to the search page.  Seems to be a neologism by Eric Anderson on which to make the public aware of how homophobia operates; WP is not a page to propagate pet theories or neologisms; doing so is a violation of WP:PROMO.

 * Merge / Redirect to homophobia. The neologism got some traction -- enough to be mentioned in the main article, but not enough coverage sufficiently distinct from homophobia to justify a stand-alone article. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 18:14, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as far as notability is concerned. I do not think there is a need for a medical source for a sociological concept, and there are reputable sources; but OTOH that could easily be merged and redirected.
 * However, I strongly advocate to delete the impact section that reads As a culture becomes less homophobic and there is less of a stigma around physical platonic affection between men, the lives of heterosexual men are improved, as they are less aggressive and physically alienated from one another.. I accessed the source, and while it does quote a few other papers to that effect, (1) it stinks of "pet theory promotion", so I think better sources are required, and (2) it is written non-neutrally ("heterosexual men's lives are improved" -> based on which criteria? I am sure some American evangelicals would be happier if the American society was more homophobic). Tigraan Click here to contact me 16:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Homophobia and WP:SALT. This is utter nonsense in soapbox drag. When trans peoples' unemployment rates match the American median, we can reconsider this article. Bearian (talk) 21:00, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * When trans peoples' unemployment rates match the American median, we can reconsider this article. Huh... what does that have to do with the price of tea in China, or any WP policy?
 * Also, "redirect and salt" is contradictory, maybe you meant to protect the redirect. Tigraan Click here to contact me 08:26, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
