Delete

1. This article was created by User:L's Ideology, a likely sock of Nathan Larson, and while it doesn't have the same issues as his other deleted articles it still isn't very good. It's short, poorly referenced, and describes the subject as a "feminist" when she really isn't. Apparently, there was an attempt at deletion back in 2017 but it was kept by an inconclusive vote. This may be worth at most a footnote on the page antifeminism, but this article is crappy and even Wikipedia's article on the subject isn't very substantive, so this might not be worth its own article.

   The article doesn't say she's a feminist. There's nothing inaccurate about the sentence saying she self-described as a feminist as she is on video doing such Margaret 003 (talk)

2. Four citations, one is a youtube video and two are from reddit? Blah. Might be worth a small footnote in feminism, but that's about it. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 23:55, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
3. Not gonna pass up eliminating another hopeless stub. American daylight saving time ending November 6, Andrew5 (talk) 01:21, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
4. I see no real point for it. The book referenced is pretty obscure. Also shut up about daylight savings time. Jake Holmes^{yell at me} 15:58, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

   I changed my signature. It was only up 3 days this year. Last year it was up for 19 days. Andrew5 (talk) 17:25, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Keep

1. For the same reasons here. Also the fact that she's an author of a banned book puts her among a special few. The book itself is of course garbage, but it's noteworthy for being among 3 or so books constantly cited by manosphere Margaret 003 (talk) 00:06, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

   That's a rather weak argument for keeping, but I wouldn't be opposed to moving it to the draft space. When the original Afd was drafted we didn't have that option. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 01:42, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

   Or just leave it as it is. A small, subpar article isn't super harmful for the wiki. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 02:29, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

   There should have always been an option to __NOINDEX__ a page cosmik, regardless of namespaces, I recommend the use of that when appropriate. The argument by Pluto that this page is inaccurate about the topic is inaccurate. It's simply stubby, of which there are hundreds on RW Margaret 003 (talk) 13:00, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
