commonly used in recent, high-quality, English-language medical sources." I searched for this term on PubMed, and at that time found only two examples: a paper by the inventor of the term, Ray
Blanchard, a close colleague of James at CAMH, and one other from Hungary. I asked James at the AfD for other examples of its use, but there was no response. The article was kept, but it seems to be a clear example of editing to promote a little-used term (and the perspective associated with it), with the result that Knowledge is causing the spread of it, rather than merely (or also) reflecting that spread.

I am not recommending the article be kept, nor that it be deleted (I haven't formulated an opinion either way). I am merely recommending that the discussion is postponed until the relevant "non-article-space bureaucracy" as you put it is out of the way so that neither discussion prejudices the other.

James created
Gynandromorphophilia in August 2012. We already had an article on that subject at, first, Transfan, then Attraction to transgender people, so Gynandromorphophilia is arguably a POV fork. According to MOSMED, we are supposed to use "the scientific or recognised medical name that is most

I don't think it's wise to argue keep an article on the basis of (by design) non-article-space bureaucracy. I'd be very surprised if we've ever had a non-admin arbitrator, and in the case of them all being admins, as I'm assuming, they can access the article history under any circumstance from this

269:
From looking at the article, this analysis seems to check out. The giveaway sentence to me is in the lead section, "Gynandromorphophilia and autogynephilia have been noted to be important considerations in the assessment of Gender
Identity Disorder.":
