[edit] Appeal to gender

If there's an actual fallacy called "appeal to gender", this isn't it. This, on the other hand, is an original essay, characterized by bald factual claims about disputed subjects, a complete lack of verification or sources, and little internal consistency. Even if the subject is real and notable we'd be better off deleting this article entirely and rewriting from scratch. — Phil Welch Katefan's ridiculous poll 07:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• If references cannot be provided, delete; if references are provided, the article needs a little "smoothing out" as it drops the reader into a discussion rather than leading into it. B.Wind 07:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - quite accurate with what it says. Google search finds supporting articles by the bucketload. [1] or [2] or [3] or [4]. Common term in regular use, very studios, accurately and neutrally presented. Needs to be expanded with refs quoted in article.

213 hits on Google is a bucketload? The links you provide are not supporting articles, they simply contain phrases such as "teaching techniques that appeal to gender differences" and the like. squell 12:43, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not verifiable and doesn't cite sources. No evidence of this term being in common use. — squell 12:43, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable. This is another case where, as Squell notes above, Google may give a misleading picture. ESkog | ^Talk 15:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per the above. A more plausible Google search phrase ("appeal to gender" "logical fallacy") brings up only Wikipedia and its mirrors. If this is deleted, don't forget to delete the link from Logical fallacy as well. — Haeleth Talk 16:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
