Violence, dominance and stereotypes in masculinity

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Opinion essay per WP:NOTESSAY created as a student project, which is little more than a commentary on the existing article toxic masculinity, building up to a pamphleteering conclusion asking "The pressing question is, what do we do about it? How can we seek to solve these concerns in the workplace and in everyday life?" The original article toxic masculinity has itself been the subject of some debate for over a year, so when I tried to propose a merge at Talk:Toxic masculinity, the consensus was that this article should go to AFD. It was proposed for deletion on similar grounds by User:El cid, el campeador on 29 March. The article creator responded by de-prodding, adding a lot more information and WP: Reliable sources, but also straying repeatedly into WP:Synthesis. Some of those sources might be useful in improving toxic masculinity, but aside from that I can see little to no article content worth salvaging. The Mighty Glen (talk) 06:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete For all the reasons above, it's awful. Seems to be part of a student project going on here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Michigan/Social_Inequality_-_Winter_2018_(Winter_2018) - which is also affecting other articles. --hippo43 (talk) 12:11, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Tangentially, deletion might give happy birth to a new project, about male dominance in Wikipedia. -The Gnome (talk) 10:18, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not surprised this was nominated for AfD over the suggested merge. WP:NPOV is clearly something that happens to other people. As noted, some of the refs would be good for the base article, but there isn't a distinct section here that is worth specific preserving. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:05, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - I hate to critique some poor student's work, but this is an ordinary essay, not an encyclopedia article. Bearian (talk) 02:39, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
