Sex change

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Sex change does not seem to contain anything other than forked content from other articles. Per WP:SIF--Geysirhead (talk) 19:37, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect: to Sex_reassignment_therapy; when originally created this article spoke concisely about Sex_reassignment_therapy with the article losing direction over a course of years.Flibbertigibbets (talk) 00:09, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Sex change (disambiguation). Current article basically combines transgender sex reassignment in humans and sex change in some animals like clownfish unnecessarily when the disambiguation page is there. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 14:42, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Sex change (disambiguation). Currently this article is redundant with the better articles linked there, and is trying to be about two separate things. Crossroads -talk- 23:27, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. That option is a violation of policy. Georgia guy (talk) 23:31, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Which policy do you have in mind? I'd be inclined to support this option if it is not prohibited by policy as it allows the reader to see the whole range of articles with names relevant to this phrase and to choose which one they want. As such it seems like the most reliable option for ensuring that the reader eventually ends up at the correct article for their needs and far better than sending them off to a specific article which may or may not be what they were looking for.

 * Redirect to Sex change (disambiguation). Checking the traffic for the linked articles shows nearly equal numbers for Sequential hermaphroditism and Sex reassignment therapy, indicating that there is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and a disambig is therefore warranted as the base topic per WP:NOPRIMARY.

 * Redirect to Sex change (disambiguation). The current article is sort of a poor disambiguation already in that it covers multiple unrelated topics and then links off to their existing articles for more complete coverage. We have no way of knowing which topic the reader is interested in. Sending them to the disambiguation is the best option as that offers them the complete range of articles that they might want without unnecessary complication. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:51, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the disambiguation page as suggested above. This article currently inappropriately combines disparate topics that should be—and indeed, are—covered separately. It's a bit like writing a limb replacement article that covers both limb regeneration and prosthetic limbs. I must say I'm curious as to which policy believes redirecting this would violate.
