Delete[edit]

#A historical curiosity more than anything else. Not particularly good, interesting or missional. Gangster Computer God (talk) 13:58, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Merge/redirect[edit]

  1. Article isn’t great, but isn’t as bad as all the others from the same author that’ve been afd’d recently. It’s a largely discredited theory on the cause of a disability/medical condition/whatever you want to call it (which we’ve got plenty of), notable enough that Wikipedia has an article on it,Wikipedia and still has modern relevance even if it’s largely historical. Make it a subsection of autism#Causes and controversy, redirect the page itself there. Christopher (talk) 14:12, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. What Chris said. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 15:46, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
  3. You know what? Chris is right. 天幕月 (talk) 18:09, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

  6. Agreed. Spud (talk) 06:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
  7. Sure. Bongolian (talk) 18:24, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
  8. Out of scope and not amazing, but will keep the history intact for a future resurrection. -Gale5050 (talk) 20:03, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Goat[edit]

  1. I'm voting for Goat, because I don't know what Goat does. Also, generic goat on a farm joke. It's Farmhand, BTW! (talk) 18:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
    Goat is the place to leave a comment without casting a vote or replying to anyone. Christopher (talk) 19:14, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. So, voting's overwhelmingly in favour of merge. Who shall do the honours (AKA I can't be bothered to do it myself)? 主要行事月 (talk) 18:03, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
    It must be an admin. Gale5050 (talk) 20:03, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
    No reason it needs to be a sysop, there’s no actual page moving involved, just moving text around. Christopher (talk) 20:32, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
  3. I have redirected the page, but I did not know what to merge so I am waiting for someone to do that. Gale5050 (talk) 22:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
    I’d leave it as is unless you’re going to actually do the merging, you’ve probably reduced the chances of someone getting around to it (no longer in afd category). I’ll do it tomorrow if I remember. Christopher (talk) 23:00, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
