Delete

 * 1) Some random trivia & some inept attempts at humour, barely coming close to the site missions at all. 20:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) It's entirely unclear what you think is wrong or funspaceworthy about this - David Gerard (talk) 10:14, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The article is 90% jokes about left-handedness. 12:37, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Needs to become a folklore article. Different cultures have generated all sorts of interesting woo about left-handedness, and the article ought to be refocused on that.  What's there is a reasonable stub. - Smerdis of Tlön, LOAD "*", 8, 1. 03:26, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) It needs expanded but there's oodles of material. Scientists seem to be trying to work out whether everything in the world is correlated with lefthandedness - is this sensible or madness? Skeptoid has a good article. As mentioned, there's a long history of attempts to treat or punish lefties. Also myths about whether southpaws are more creative or die sooner. And apparently lefties are more likely to be paedophiles. Won't somebody think of the children? Annquin (talk) 10:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) Move to funspace. 00:03, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Sure.--Owlman (talk) (mail) 00:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC) 00:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) I think so too. Spud (talk) 06:10, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Goat

 * 1) I'm in two minds. On the one hand prejudice against left-handed people is long over, and therefore we don't need an article. On the other we could use it to show how a prejudice dies out - and so it could be useful. Flannan Isle (talk) 21:57, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
