Nurse stereotypes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Although there is a reference provided, this article does not assert the importance or significance of the topic as to be included in an encyclopædia article.EuroSong talk 09:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Why is this not a notable topic? The article does suffer from being written from only one point of view however. (It seems to be written with an agenda -- as is the source I'm guessing -- to promote the "correct" view of nurses vs. all these "stereotypes.")Redddogg (talk) 12:31, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Article promotes career prejudice and is also sexism in disguise. The article could be renamed Female stereotype and most of the article would still be true. Instead of talk about nurses in a cultural/historical context, it just lists and categorizes about various European/American stereotypes of this profession. BTW, nurse is a respected profession many other parts of the world. --Voidvector (talk) 13:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting we Censor WP for this kind of information? This Article deals only with the Nurse imagery, are you saying that as a Female stereotype we should expand it(?) while as a Nurse stereotype it should be deleted? Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  01:34, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: Someone apparently thought it important enough to create a French-language version. -Drawn Some (talk) 04:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and/or merge to Nurses. There are numerous comedy shows in which nurses are stereotyped; in the subject of stereotypes, nurses are a notable profession, I think. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 15:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * rename to Nurses in Popular Culture RogueNinja talk  13:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, merge only salvageable content into nursing. The current article is a POV screed. The alphabetic "classification" of major stereotypes is either invented or was introduced by the only source (which is not credited) and therefore not notable as such.

 * Keep - it must be a notable topic if all these books talk about it. Just because they are not mentioned in the Article is only an edit issue, the rest could be a WP:IDONTLIKEIT issue, as this admittedly is an issue that a entire industry sector dislikes.

 * Keep. Seems notable enough and sufficiently sourced for a separate article. Merging to nurse would create WP:UNDUE problems because this text is fairly long. VG &#x260E; 07:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
