Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hot Flashes and Phytoestrogens

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was move to Draft:Hot Flashes and Phytoestrogens. Since the article's creator hasn't edited since creating it (which is why I'm choosing this result rather than userfication, as there's no telling whether the user is still around), the draft's best hope may be for other Wikipedians to work on getting it into shape.

Obviously, the author put a lot of work into this article, but the article is unfortunately, an essay. Grognard 123chess456 (talk) 04:03, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or userfy. This is a true pity because the author clearly wrote a well-referenced, quality essay. Unfortunately, essays simply do not belong in Wikipedia per WP:NOTESSAY. --gdfusion (talk|contrib) 04:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment : I suggest, before its deletion, the well-referenced parts of this page be copied/moved into a section of another related well-sourced page Phytoestrogens. Deleting this article outright would be a discouragement to the author who seems to have put lot of effort in this. Its a good work , although not from Wikipedia point of view - SaHiL (talk) 08:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge might be a possibility, we might want to merge it into Phytoestrogens? Plus, inform the author of abilities to recover the work after it is deleted by asking an admin. Grognard 123chess456 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Userfy. Came across this by accident, and it's a solid article hidden inside an essay. I think it would be wrong to merge with Phytoestrogens since they are subjectively different (by the article) but objectively linked. I suspect it wouldn't take too much to alter it. Most of the structure is already present. scope_creep talk 02:11 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Move to Draft: until the referencing meets WP:MEDRS. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:41, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy or move to draft The article contains good information, but it is in violation of WP:NOTESSAY. I suggest moving this to userspace or to drafts so the creator and any other interested parties can work on salvaging the article. A straight-up delete is not desirable because the article contains good information that would be lost. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
