Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Contraception

Okay:

I hadn't thought that sourcing was necessary for definitions of words. Maybe I was wrong. I'm not clear what the policy is. I put sources up.

The main article on birth control does not make the contraception/contragestion/abortifacient distinction and I could not find it anywhere on en.wikipedia. If it were merely a distinction of medical terminology it would merit inclusion in wikipedia, but there is also a connection to politics.

your statement that there are no sources is just false. go look.--OckRaz (talk) 13:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I have said on my talkpage, they don't appear to be reliable. ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 13:41, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am saying here that 'they don't appear reliable' is an ambiguous and unhelpful statement.--OckRaz (talk) 13:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also provided you a link to what I think they specifically fail – they are self-published. ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 13:52, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridiculous. Sources used:

Dorland's Medical Dictionary for Health Consumers. 2007

Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. 2009

McGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine. 2002

Which of these is unreliable and why?--OckRaz (talk) 13:56, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The people commenting in this AfD feel that the article should go, ridiculous as you may see our views. I'm moving this onto the talkpage, as the AfD should not be covered in sprawling catfights (and I blame myself for this, too). ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 13:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The ridiculous part is the unsubstantiated criticism of sources. The only way that it could be self published is if I owned http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by OckRaz (talk • contribs) 14:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You obviously didn't read the material I linked to. It doesn't say that self-published means that you published it. Have another try. ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 14:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
