Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Effects of equine assisted therapy on autism

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 keep. This is "keep" in the sense of "do not delete outright", rather than "keep in its current state". There is no real support for actually deleting this content, but there are valid concerns about the appropriateness of leaving it as a separate article. I suggest efforts are made to either source this article properly or trim and merge it to Therapeutic horseback riding - the correct way forward can be discussed on the talk page. ~ mazca ^talk 15:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic, unreferenced essay. KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Here is a journal article on the topic: https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs10803-009-0734-3 -- Eastmain (talk) 18:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Therapeutic horseback riding, where the subject can be covered in a wider context. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Therapeutic horseback riding, per Phil Bridger. We do not need to have separate articles for each therapy of each different disease, and this article extensively duplicates the information found in the THR article, as equine assisted therapy (or THR, same thing) assists many people afflicted with various diseases in approximately the same way.

Keep. There are lots of sources both at this article and at Therapeutic horseback riding#Autism to validate a stand-alone article.--Pink Bull 03:19, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
