Fatherless[edit]

This is not an article, only a list of very one-sides surveys more or less dealing with the topic. --BarbD 19:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Barb, nice to see you on this side. Always hiding some interesting staff! ts, ts, ts .... Look at that, your favorite work tool Google delivers us 1.230.000 hits isn't this amazing. Btw fatherless is only a "side topic" of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifeminist Someone is looking for more information there. --M.R.A. 20:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder how many of those Google hits can be summed up as "foo was fatherless", nothing more, nothing less. At the moment, this article is a dictdef, with three sources which appear to be extraneous to the material in the article. I don't know how 'worthy' an article on the subject would be, but when the sources section contains far more information than the article itself, I have to question what the heck is going on. -- Saberwyn 21:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. To single parent. Fatherless is such a broad, relative term, and as a sociological study, the term "single-parent" is much better defined and widely-used.--Esprit15d 21:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Maybe some of this material could be incorporated into an article about family stability and the disagreements over whether or not traditionally families are more effective. JoshuaZ 21:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
