Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blanchard, Bailey, and Lawrence theory controversy
I don't really care one way or the other about keeping or deleting this article, but I'd like to see some good rationales either way.  JzG/Guy has his facts wrong:  Blanchard's taxonomy, although not the only current idea about how to describe and classify MtF transsexuals, is perhaps the single most widely supported idea among researchers around the world; the fact that (American) trans activists (some of whom are editing these articles) reject it doesn't mean that it has "virtually no currency" (unless you mean to exclude a plurality of experts, in the way that Thabo Mbeki#AIDS|Thabo Mbeki excludes every researcher that thinks HIV causes AIDS as being inherently biased through supporting a causal connection between HIV and AIDS).  To the extent that  requires that we "consider a viewpoint's prevalence in reliable sources, ''not'' its prevalence among Wikipedia editors," the fact that it is rejected by activists editing Wikipedia is utterly irrelevant.  (See also Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#What_exactly_is_a_FRINGEy_topic.3F|WP:FRINGE on this point.)  Furthermore, this article provides relatively little information about the idea -- it's mostly who said which mean things about whom -- so deleting this article won't significantly reduce encyclopedia-wide coverage of the idea.  Additionally, the closing admin should probably be aware that
