Childhood gender nonconformity

The article Gender nonconformity already exists, and there is nothing to suggest that childhood gender nonconformity is notable as a unique subject. This article is certainly longer, and would appear to have more content, but considering the lack of citations, NPOV problems, lack of coherence, etc., a merge would be impractical, as there is little content to merge that meets Wikipedia's content standards.

Keep. The article is decently written, and the subject itself has been mentioned in much more notable media than it's parent topic... why, I'm not sure, but almost every tv special/web article I've read regarding the subject has been almost exclusively on children. Although the article could be improved greatly, I believe it still belongs on Wikipedia. --khfan93 03:34, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article needs work, but it's a worthwhile topic, and there's content there to work with. There's been enough discussion specifically about gender-variant children (mostly about what to do with them) that it's worth keeping separate from the main article gender variance. --Alynna (talk) 04:55, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - two academic references with the subject matter in the title is enough for any concept to meet WP:GNG. Here are some more sources, just so that notability isn't doubted: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]^{[dead link]}. Huge amount of academic coverage, and this nomination seems to be based solely on WP:RUBBISH. I've flagged the article for rescue, and I'll do some clean-up myself.

Strong Keep and rescue per Claritas. This topic is distict from the major article, and has been the subject of films, books, and scholarship. The article needs fixing, but is a good start. Bearian (talk) 20:20, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
