[edit] Feminist veganism

Original research: one of a number of pages by 24.86.192.164 (talk · contribs) reporting the unsourced statements of a Yashar Keramati, whose entry was VFD'd in May 2005 as unverified/non-notable (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Yashar Keramati). Tearlach 12:43, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as original research. Movementarian 13:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect per Durova. Movementarian 08:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete, without prejudice to re-creation. Somewhere I have a copy of a book called The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory by Carol J. Adams; if unintended humour is your bag, I recommend it. Point is, this is a noteworthy concept, if not actually worthy of note; it's "out there" in the attestation sense as well as the other sense. On the other hand, this is original research and will not be particularly helpful to writers of a better article. Smerdis of Tlön 15:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment - agreed. The relationship between feminism and veganism is a perfectly valid topic, but the problem is with an article claiming an entity called "Feminist veganism" (which doesn't verify) drawing entirely on OR. Tearlach 16:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Veganism without merging. The main article already discusses the topic. This stub looks unsalvageable but may have a search-worthy title. Durova 17:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect per above. Drn8 17:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Veganism. Tearlach 17:52, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No one in their right mind would search for "feminist veganism" - womyn like that don't go anywhere near man-invented evil gizmos like the coMputer with intErNet. Flyboy Will 21:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • You're kidding, right? Durova 21:43, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I have a huge problem with being serious even when I need to be; but seriously, searching for feminist veganism is like searching for "socialist aerodynamics", or "slavery and ancient philosophy". The intersection between the two terms is so marginal I don't believe it should have a separate page. Flyboy Will 22:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
      • It's notable enough that it's already a subtopic on the main page. I'd gauge that as redirect-worthy after the subject gets created as a separate article. Durova 22:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
        • And, although someone might not search on the specific phrase "feminist veganism", there's a solid crossover between the two: try Google on (feminism OR feminist) AND (veganism OR vegan). Tearlach 22:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Holy mackerel. I stand corrected, even though I personally fail to see any legitimate link between the two; that is, people can justifiably be both, but one because of the other? In any case, definitely Merge. Flyboy Will 22:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I think the common thread is the ethical stand against exploiting one's fellow creatures. Durova 23:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Yep: or put another way, the idea that oppression of women and oppression of animals are both consequences of the traditional man-the-hunter ethos. Tearlach 23:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
