Highly essay-like. 103.6.159.86 (talk) 17:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've completed this nom on behalf of the IP editor, above, using their rationale from the talk page for this AFD. They are, of course, invited to expand on their rationale. On the merits... oi. The text is indeed essay-like, which is a concern - but one that can be fixed through editing. There are references, but note the presence of WebMD and Wordpress among them - not a good sign. We also have indications that this is tonally like a self-help article. For example, Plastic Surgery is described as an "...evasive way to change your physical appearance...". There was a student who indicated that some work would be done, and much was added in February - but the existing article, problems and all, was left mostly intact. For my part, I think it would be best to Merge this over to Self-image and expand on issues particular to female self-image there. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 18:44, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Self-image, per WP:NOTESSAY. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 21:52, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Self-image, I agree with NOTESSAY rationale, this also seems to be somewhat of a fork of that article, given how much it references it Tpdwkouaa (talk) 01:24, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

comment As described above, this article has/had a number of tonal problems and is (partially) covered in self-image, body image or self-objectification. The underlying topic is probably worth breaking out (as there's not exactly a shortage of research on women's self image in the US, the west and elsewhere. I've removed a number of problematic passages and I'll return to see if I can't focus the article on the topic directly. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:40, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per the fact it's an Essay and per the fact Men's self image doesn't exist, Damn feminists. –Davey2010^Talk 23:28, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
