Delete

 * 1) Unsourced mess -- better to redirect to feminism. 17:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed. Let's abolish patriarchy!!   18:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Agree. Applesauce (talk) 04:10, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Down with Patriarchy! AnonASP (talk) 04:45, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Article is terrible and needs a page one rewrite. 06:32, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Complete re-write needed. All 6 links in "Footnote" are irrelevant.
 * 7) Let's delete it. That would be a step in the right direction. Rukmaniahuja (talk) 18:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * BurgerDominar (talk) 06:42, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No Pb, socks still don't count in voting.--JorisEnter (talk) 18:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Vaporise and redo from scratch. Subject is missional, but there's really nothing to salvage here. ScepticWombat (talk) 17:13, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) It was lacking in references but most claims appear justifiable and can easily be sourced. Patriarchy denial is a very missional topic, and we should also discuss the pseudohistory around matriarchy (Goddess movement does cover one aspect of this). Annquin (talk) 10:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Keep but gut the current mess of a text and rewrite from scratch. "Patriarchy" is an important term and we can do much to dispel  myths on all sides of the debate. Worzelpete (talk) 19:47, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Regardless of your stance on the patriarchy (or its existance), the term itself deserves its own article. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:48, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) The "favored gender" bit of the first sentence is meaningless, and much of the article's phrasing is hyperbolic and lacking in appropriate nuance. That said, it needs sources and a rewrite, but it deserves its own article. B) talk 05:21, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) The current article may not be it, but this is something we definitely need an article on. This is one of the world's most famous conspiracy theories, after all. The concept's roots in 19th century speculative anthropology should be pointed out. - Smerdis of Tlön, LOAD "*", 8, 1. 05:32, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) I think there is plenty of information on the idea of patriarchy and how it is defined that it should stay a separate article.--Owlman (talk) (mail) 01:36, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Merge/redirect

 * 1) Perhaps some of this could be merged into Feminism after a thorough scrub. Cosmikdebris (talk) 04:30, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I would also support just giving the Feminism article a newly written section on the concept of patriarchy. If that is the intention, you may count my Keep vote as a Delete vote. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 13:38, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Merge with Feminism.- 18:27, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 4) -Blue Eyes White Dragon (talk) 18:29, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 5) Just merge it, or expand on the concept on the Feminism page at the very least--Pokefrazer (talk) 04:29, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Goat
