Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Therianthropy
This article is a neologism of the neologism Otherkin. Therianthropy is a made up word by an internet group as stated in the body of the article: ''In the early days of the Usenet group alt.horror.werewolves (around 1992), the members discussed fictional shapeshifters. Some users began to publicly claim that they considered themselves to be partially non-human animal. A number were only joking, but enough people were serious about it, and claimed this was their personal understanding and experience of themselves, that it became the subject of ongoing discussion Initially such people called themselves lycanthropes, but as that word more accurately describes wolf-people, therianthropes was chosen as a more general term.'' At first glance the article seems very legit (the authors have done an excellent job of presentation) and the author even goes so far as to try and apply his neologism in a "Scholarly" context but once you begin to read it the fact that it is a vanity article created by a "community" of people attempting to create a scientific or legit sounding name to their...belief system is rather obvious. There are no |reliable sources, no |verifiable claims of |notability, it is written in a POV|POV tone, and serves as nothing more than a OT#Wikipedia is not a soapbox|soapbox. A gross (if not attractive) violation of OT
