Social challenges and support systems

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article went through an informal peer review process, as can be seen on its talk page, but the participants apparently did not notice that the article does not function as an encyclopedic topic. It is full of original research and presented in the form of a personal essay that devolves into a promotion for the organizations listed at the end, with no explanation of how particular ones were chosen. Coatracking is possibly an issue as well. All of these are reflected in the vague and unspecific title. Some of the research in the article could possibly be merged to various organization articles. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:39, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. I'm certain that the topics Social challenges [for LGBT+ youth] and Support systems [for LGBT+ youth] each meet notability guidelines; however, I'm not sure if the article as it exists serves an encyclopediac purpose. It reads as a WP:OR synthesis essay of the two topics that doesn't provide any depth to either. Maybe move the article to Social challenges of LGBT+ youth (or related title) or merge into LGBT youth vulnerability and remove the content related to support systems? As it stands, the content on support systems amounts to little more than listing organizations that help LGBT+ youth. userdude 20:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, this has been split from LGBT parenting, indeed the article creator's 1st edit on this said "Copied text from LGBT parenting article to begin to make edits", why? that article is not too long so not sure why this ocurred. ps. have added LGBT youth vulnerability to its "see also" section.

 * Delete per above and per WP:NOTESSAY. The so-called peer review is just from other WP:Student editors. I've seen those before and they often just rubber-stamp their classmates' work without any heed for what is encyclopedic. Crossroads -talk- 02:46, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * An essay, not an article. Rathfelder (talk) 10:03, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. This appears to be an excerpt from an essay, not an encyclopedia article. If this content belongs anywhere on Wikipedia, it wouldn't be under this title. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:30, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
