This is a confused and confusing article. Men wear pantyhose, but I'm not sure that's encyclopedically notable. Part of what is included - NFL players, scuba divers - is compression sleeves or support hose, and not pantyhose as the term is typically understood. Sourcing is primary and even the ones that are secondary do not discuss it as being a thing for men aside from this piece and possibly this (if someone can find a working archive).

As a result, I'm not sure this can be solved editorially, nor is there a viable merger as an ATD. There could be some discussion of this in drag, or other cross dressing, or medical clothing. But I'm not sure that's possible so we're here. Star Mississippi 16:48, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to pantyhose as a shortened-down section. No need for an independent article here. Waddles 🗩 🖉 20:31, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Pantyhose#Use by men as a very niche use case scenario, as it's been addressed by the marketplace more or less by unisex compression garments, and toss out the unsourced fetish stuff. Nate • (chatter) 21:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge relevant referenced information to Pantyhose#Use by men. Additional content may be appropriate for Leggings#For men or pages on other types of hosiery. —Ost (talk) 00:25, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
