List of countries by genital modification and mutilation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently POV fork of several articles, including Prevalence of circumcision. Possibly also a case of OR. The "male" column is entirely based on a study on male circumcision. It does therefore not account for genital modifications as described in the main article. This makes the title defective in relation to the contents. Also, male circumcision is in some cases a medial procedure/treatment or a religious rite. The article appears to connect this with "mutilation" which is not generally an accepted view, see Circumcision controversies pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 06:45, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Fine criticisms, Jake Brockman. Good reasons to improve it, not delete it, though. WisdomTooth3 (talk) 06:49, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think you will never find reliable data on any other genital modifications besides circumcision (for the male). Therefore this list will always be disconnected from the title. It could be renamed to something like "List of countries by circumcision rate" but then this would duplicate existing articles. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 06:57, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That's just your speculation, Jake Brockman. The title used is directly lifted out of the related WP article: Genital modification and mutilation. Please refer to WP:DEL-REASON for valid reasons for deletion. And as for "appearing to connect circumcision to mutilation", please see Genital modification and mutilation.

 * Inevitably OR and unencyclopedic list. Delete. Stifle (talk) 13:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Care to elaborate, Stifle? Are you saying the following WP articles are also "unencyclopedic"?
 * Genital modification and mutilation
 * Female genital mutilation
 * Prevalence of female genital mutilation by country
 * Religious views on female genital mutilation
 * Female genital mutilation in Nigeria
 * Female genital mutilation in the United States
 * Female genital mutilation in the United Kingdom
 * Male genital mutilation controversy

 * Delete. An incomplete list of stats. Ajf773 (talk) 12:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as POV and possible OR. Attempting to link male circumcision with genital mutilation is a bad idea. Hzh (talk) 14:22, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as POV pushing that male circumcision equals genital mutilation. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 23:51, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
