This is a school report full of weasel words, sentences phrased to appear to be references, and all sorts of other devices and stratagems to seek to show that this neologism is notable. It fails. Fiddle Faddle 19:16, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Not true. Notability has been established by the many reliable sources that refer to this referent. Notability grounds for deletion fail, so deletion cannot occur on those grounds. Chrisrus ( talk) 19:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Trim down, refine and keep. The subject is clearly notable, as defined by being the topic of multiple news items from WP:RS, as a Google News search will show. The article in its current form still needs substantial changes to meet Wikipedia's WP:NPOV and citation rules. It will, however, require quite rigorous and thorough editing to achieve those standards. -- The Anome ( talk) 19:21, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment @ The Anome: if you rip it apart and rebuild it, or if someone else does, then ping me and I'll give serious consideration to withdrawing the nomination. At present I doubt it can be achieved and thus am sticking with "non notable neologism". I'm willing to have my mind changed, though. Fiddle Faddle 19:29, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I've been chopping away at it for some time, and there's still quite some way to go: the initial version of this article was a lengthy WP:SYN-heavy essay. A Google news search seems to show that there are more reliable sources available on this that the original author realized. A Google Scholar search might also be helpful. -- The Anome ( talk) 19:33, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep- I thought for sure I'd be !voting delete on this, because of the POV pushing and misrepresentations from both sides, but Anome's good work has convinced me that it has potential. Reyk YO! 21:48, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Changing vote to delete. The article no longer even properly explains what it is about and the criticism section is much too prominent. If the best we can do is an uninformative hatchet job maybe we shouldn't have an article at all. Reyk YO! 06:37, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Your grounds for deletion ("If the best we can do is...(than) ....we shouldn't have an article at all.") are false. This is not the best we can do. We can do much better. Your deletion grounds are not valid. Chrisrus ( talk) 19:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply
The article doesn't explain what the subject is even about, and it's been like that for over a week with no sign of improvement. If I am mistaken, prove it. Reyk YO! 19:14, 5 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep for now - The article (re)creator did a decent job providing sources and showing relevance, though it was rough. A good start and The Anome is doing a good job refining it and making it encyclopedic. Given its notability and the fact that people are working on it, I say keep for now. Once the work is done, we can reevaluate, but I doubt I'll be in favor of deleting by then given the current progress. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 21:56, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete - As the creator of the article, I am not interested in having a Wikipedia article about MGTOW just for the sake of having a Wikipedia article about MGTOW. If the article does not correctly and completely explain MGTOW, detail the various gradations within MGTOW, and contrast it with unrelated men's groups, explain its equivalence with the herbivore men, and its equivalence with the marriage strike/boycott, then I don't even see the point in having an article. If it makes any difference, the near-consensus of the MGTOW outside Wikipedia with whom I've discussed this is agreement with my delete vote here. Editors who know nothing about the subject have somehow decided that MGTOW has nothing to do with the herbivore men, or with the marriage strike/boycott, even though MGTOW themselves and Herbivores themselves (such as Kyojiro Kagenuma) disagree. The Helen Smith book is an excellent source, but you have decided that it cannot be allowed. The majority of the Google News articles are useless and only show up in the search results because someone mentioned MGTOW in their comment sections. The fact that you have removed everything from the article except "criticisms of MGTOW" is clear example of WP:UNDUE weight, intended to make it appear as if MGTOW are merely " men who whine about women on the internet". You also do not consider Milo Yiannopoulos to be a reliable source (but do consider the VICE article to be a reliable source, even though the latter is clearly a poorly researched, heavily biased journalistic hatchet job, intended to mock MGTOW with phrases such as "those tricky, tricky women"). If all this is the case, I instead prefer to wait several years, after a number of books about MGTOW have been written (as I expect), to make any Wikipedia article about MGTOW, or not to have an article at all. — MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight( talk). 22:40, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply

You mention that this article needs to completely explain the topic, particularly by including some details you mention, otherwise the article should be deleted. Can you point to a Wikipedia policy that requires complete explanations with failure at this requiring deletion? Can you explain how stubs ( WP:STUB) are generally acceptable? Also, since I imagine that the vast majority of articles on Wikipedia would be deleted under that criterion, can you please point us to some Wikipedia articles about real-life groups that completely explain their topic, thereby making them OK to keep? — Olathe ( talk) 07:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Strong delete. This article is a hollow shell of what it was, and I do not want to see this redacted, stripped and impotent article which doesn't at all represent MGTOW being used as the public face of MGTOW. This article doesn't represent anything close to what MGTOW is. The original article submitted by MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight was what the MGTOW COMMUNITY approved as being an accurate definition and description of MGTOW. This perverse stripped-down shell is nothing close. Get rid of it. Nomnompuffs ( talk) 01:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. There exist two (German language) secondary sources which explicitly state that:
  1. "MGTOW" are equivalent with the Herbivore Men
  2. "MGTOW" are the topic of the book by Helen Smith (i.e. Marriage Strike/ Career Strike/ Education Strike).
There are also secondary sources which state that MGTOW is a general phenomenon in which men can be MGTOW without knowing about the word "MGTOW" (this criterion, by the way, also logically implies that Herbivore men are MGTOW). This implies that general references (that do not mention the word "MGTOW") about men abandoning marriage/etc are relevant, because MGTOW refers to the general *phenomenon* of men abandoning marriage/relationships/the rat race, not just the online community. (But at this point I can't be bothered anymore, so just delete.) — MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight( talk). 01:07, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Would you like to tell us what those sources are? I see no mention of a German source at Talk:Men Going Their Own Way but maybe I just missed it. Footnote 1 here is quoting Smith and she calls it "Men on Strike" not MGTOW. Is your argument that this is all the same thing? -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 07:06, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
I believe this blog post freiewelt.net is one of the German sources. It might not be mentioned on the talk page, but a few days ago I deleted some reference to herbivore men and wrote in an edit summary, "Deleted due to lack of reliable, non-primary sources that compare MGTOW with herbivore men in Japan. FreieWelt.net is a partisan blog website." That was the only German source I came across, but I'm sure another one could have been deleted by someone else without me noticing. While we're on the topic of herbivore men, I've also commented on the talk page that, "I've not seen any articles about herbivore men that compare it to MGTOW. I've only seen articles where MGTOW's compare themselves to herbivore men. I've also seen articles about MGTOW that specifically differentiate themselves from the Japanese herbivore men movement." I feel strongly that sources about Japanese herbivore don't count as RS for the MGTOW and the argument that they're about the same "phenomenon" is not at all true and is not supported by a single reliable source. As far as MGTOW's notability, I'm abstaining b/c I keep going back and forth. Permstrump ( talk) 08:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Let us continue this on the talk page if there's anything more to add. There's a lot of excited new editors coming to this article and hopefully they will learn about our sourcing standards and can help us craft a better article. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 09:44, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep has been covered in reliable sources, although this article is already becoming an edit warzone so some form of oversight might be needed. FiredanceThroughTheNight ( talk) 02:57, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
On the Talk page, User:The Anome has enumerated 5 putatively reliable sources. However, two of these only mention MGTOW briefly:
  • Reggie Yates does not "reference the topic [of MGTOW]" as a "primary, or near-primary, topic" in his sham documentary. He only briefly shows the MGTOW.com website on screen and some youtube comment sections. Most of the documentary is about PUAs, MRAs, internet trolls, standup comedians, and feminists.
  • And the SPLC report is primarily about men's rights activists, not MGTOW, and also only mentions MGTOW in passing. I am also surprised that he considers organization such as the SPLC, with a clear biased agenda (and even lawyers to defend this agenda) as a reliable source. — MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight( talk). 16:02, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep because DINC. I think we have enough to establish notability. The article is actively being cleaned up (h/t The Anome).

  • On the basis that this appears to pass WP:GNG I withdraw the nomination. Please note that this does not mean that this discussion may be closed immediately. Two opinions to delete the article mean that this discussion must run its natural course and that consensus is still required. I applaud the editors who have removed the POV pushing material, and deprecate those who seem to be insisting that the article requires it. Discussions on content are for the article talk page, not for this deletion discussion. Fiddle Faddle 10:25, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment: I think I've now got the article down to the WP:NPOV essentials that can currently directly be supported by WP:RS, without it being either propaganda or a hatchet job, and I'm still inclining to "keep". If the article fails to grow over the longer term, it may be best to starting thinking in terms of merging this into manosphere article as a subsection. -- The Anome ( talk) 12:33, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - in its earlier and longer version it easily met WP:GNG as a notable topic, with many third party refs cited. It needs restoring to a more complete version such as this version and then fixing any remaining issues, not cutting out almost all the text and then noming for deletion. - Ahunt ( talk) 16:59, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete or Redirect per Cailil. I don't feel there are enough reliable sources on the subject to support a non-stubby article of its own. Previous versions were a mess of original research, relying heavily on cites to blogs, youtube videos, and other low-quality unreliable sources; looking over it, it also looks like it cited the same few sources and people over and over. When you trim it down to what's usable, there's enough to cover a mention on Men's rights movement or manosphere, but not really enough to give it its own article. -- Aquillion ( talk) 08:29, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep and seriously prune. Trim it down to a definition of the term (etymology comes first), note about similar terms (the Japanese grass-eater phenomenon), a little history, perhaps some context (divorce law, in particular), and references. References should include web links, as part of the late development of MGTOW is certain websites and youtubers. The justification and advocacy can go, as can the attempts at high-falutin' "philosophy" and the libertarianism. Paul Murray ( talk) 11:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete - As per MaximumGrossTakeOffWeight and Nomnompuffs I feel the current entry mis-characterizes the philosophy in lue of the content that was allegedly insufficiently sourced.

  • Merge and Redirect to Manosphere per Cailil, the article directly states MGTOW is a subset of the "red pill movement" (manosphere).

You are right about the differences, but if you would familiarize yourself with the available WP:RSes on this topic, not just the current state of the article, you will see that there is clearly enough by now for a separate article. This social group and their associated philosophy or way of thinking has nothing to do with the vast majority of the "manosphere", is clearly notable, and our readers will be clearly served by a the creation of a good Wikipedia article, which this deletion process is currently inhibiting. Chrisrus ( talk) 19:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply
The deletion process isn't inhibiting anything. Articles can always be improved while a deletion discussion is ongoing.

While WP:HEY is true and a point well taken, resources dedicated to defending the article from deletion, together with the apparent futility of dedicating resources into an article in danger of deletion, are together preventing several of us from getting much work done on the article.

Side discussion unrelated to the actual deletion discussion. Collapsed to clear space
    • I have a bit of personal experience with this issue, as I belong to a field that also suffers from a dearth of women, and is also dedicated to Truth: philosophy. Yet we philosophers have decided, like the rest of society, that we have an obligation not to actively exclude women (and other under-represented groups) from our field through creation of a hostile, unwelcoming environment towards them, and speak up against this kind of attempt at intimidation and exclusion, by ramming a completely not-notable Internet forum with a minuscule number of users on to Wikipedia and allow them to pretend the illusion of a movement. There is no movement, this is not a notable phenomenon. 1-2 news articles or blog posts about this vulgar sexism hardly makes it notable. There is no room for this trash on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia does have a moral obligation to make sure they are not excluding women via their policies. Women are no less intelligent than men and no less able to contribute to the project of collecting the world's knowledge, and thus, if there is a dearth of them, we have fair grounds to assume that perhaps unconscious biases and discriminatory behaviors are chasing them off and showing them they are not welcome here. Here is most obviously one, this reporting on an absolutely completely not notable small band of Internet sexists, written by the owner of the forum. This is a complete waste of time for all involved , and bad for the encylopedia in all possible ways. World Champion Editor ( talk) 20:11, 5 January 2016 (UTC) reply
I'm not seeing the connection you're making where hosting an article like this one on Wikipedia would discourage women from participating. It's completely plausible that it could have the opposite effect, women could take more interest if there's more controversial articles related to gender. Maybe it would have no effect either way. It's more of an empirical question than anything else. I also haven't seen any evidence that the person who created the article is the owner of the mgtow dot com forum. Even if he was, it's been modified so much from his initial version, I can't see how it matters. All of that being said, as important as being inclusive is, it's not an argument related to AfD criteria. - Scarpy ( talk) 20:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC) reply
That, and World Champion Editor's description of the MGTOW people seems rather hateful and inaccurate. As far as I can tell, they're just guys who choose not to date because they think the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. I've seen no evidence of "locker room penis-waving", or "vulgar sexism", and the existence of this article is clearly not an attempt to drive women off Wikipedia. The notion is completely ridiculous. Reyk YO! 21:56, 5 January 2016 (UTC) reply
I really don't want to be drawn further into this dispute, because, honestly, who cares whether some hate-group men's forum gets a Wiki page? But here goes: they are obviously a sexist organization looking to spread their bigoted ideas, such as, for starters, these two, mentioned right on the page: 1. Women commonly falsely accuse men of rape (actual fact: nothing further from the case could be true. Most women who are raped do not report their rapist, and there are very few false accusations of rape. You are doing real harm by allowing this utter nonsense on your website.) 2. Women, unlike men, are inherently "hypergamous", I.e by there very nature they are looking to "marry up" and use men for their money. (Actual fact: women have been excluded from most professions for, oh, say the last 4000 years. They don't need this vulgar pseudo-sociology making claims based on anecdotal evidence and evidence gathered from periods when women were systematically excluded from earning their own living.) if you want to support these know-nothing, anti-women groups started by what appears to be an 18 year old strangely cowering in fear that he will "falsely be accused of rape" spreading the vulgar sexist canard that women do this every day , be my guest. But again, when you later ask "why do no women edit here" please do Remember what I told you: it's the fact that you allow angry sexist males a platform to spread distasteful hate speech against women.

@ World Champion Editor The presence of a Wikipedia article isn't an endorsement of the article topic. No one is saying you have to like or agree with this group, any more than you have to like or agree with Heaven's Gate because they have a Wikipedia article or like to eat Nattō because it has an article or like to listen to Yanni because he has an article. In fact if you dislike this group so much, it's perfect opportunity for you to use every reliable source available to make the world aware of all of it's foibles in an encyclopedic manner.
