Transmaxxing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not appear to be notable; not covered in reliable sources. The sources mentioned in the article (none cited inline) are 2 blog posts (one from Glenn Beck), a National Review article (no consensus for general reliability, but almost certainly not sufficient for notability on this subject), and an UnHerd opinion piece. Searching finds nothing else, unsurprisingly. It would need *way* more coverage to warrant anything more than a passing mention in Incel or something similar, and there aren't even sources for that yet.

• Delete. I edit conflicted with WK tagging it with {{db-hoax}}, but whether it's speedied or deleted via AfD it's pretty clear it needs to go. WK largely covers it in the nomination rationale: exceptionally poor sourcing that wouldn't even warrant a mention in another article, much less a standalone page.

• (edit conflict) Delete - I had my eye on this and was thinking of nominating it for deletion myself. I agree entirely with Writ Keeper's analysis - none of the sources in the article are reliable, so WP:GNG is not met. I cannot find anything myself either.

• Delete Wholly non-notable, like other editors the only sources I can find are unreliable. I'm pretty sure this is some sort of hoax designed to inflame anti-trans sentiments online, but I'll be damned if I can figure out where it originated from a brief search.

• Delete Earlier today I posted on the talk page recommending more sources. If they couldn't/can't be found, it should be deleted.--MattMauler (talk) 16:57, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, per above. Incels seem to get dumber every time I read about them.AryKun (talk) 17:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, per above. No. Just, no.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:04, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, I'm the creator of the article, I thought this as interesting entry for Wikipedia, but unfortunately the sources currently in the article are the best I was able to find, so I have to agree with others, that this has to be deleted. My apologies. --Pek (talk) 07:02, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • ’Not Delete’ for the reasons listed in my last comment. this is a real phenomenon that is ongoing, currently being undertaken by many, and currently going through many developments. it would be unwise to remove the article

  • Not Delete As I wrote above. Sorry I am new to Wikipedia.

  Llamato (talk) 08:11, 18 June 2023 (UTC) Sock vote struck. firefly ( t · c ) 10:55, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that transmaxxing has been covered in reliable sources. Most notably the original Sanjana Friedman piratewires article.https://www.piratewires.com/p/transmaxxing Llamato (talk) 07:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i agree with llamato.

this topic is a valuable one to hold on the site.

i am currently unable to edit the page, but i would like to include some sources:

1. piratewires original article https://www.piratewires.com/p/transmaxxing

2. incelwiki https://incels.wiki/w/Trannymaxxing

3. two first person sources:

https://youtube.com/@llamato

i hope this is helpful in the establishment of this article.

i will edit it tomorrow when i get the chance! Kat the vat (talk) 07:27, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The most accurate article was probably the one published by unheard and even that had some issues.

There is also publications and websites by the community itself such as https://vintologi.com/threads/transmaxxing13-manifesto.1337/

The most notable thing about the transmaxxing community is how much media coverage it got, the actual community is mostly a general MtF community. Vintologi (talk) 09:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

•  Checkuser note: There has been some pretty clumsy and stupid sockpuppetry here - Kat the vat and Llamato are quite obviously the same person, and "agreed" with each other. I've struck one of the !votes. Vintologi/Vintologi28 (the second of which has not voted but has edited the article) are also socks of each other - but distinct from the Kat/Llamato pair. I'd advise the closing admin to scrutinise any !votes from brand new users closely. firefly ( t · c ) 11:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: saw this page yesterday but forgot to nominate it for deletion. Non-notable and appears to be a hoax. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 13:31, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Not a single reliable source cited. I can't work out if this is transphobic disinformation or just a hoax for amusement value but either way there is no evidence that it deserves to be in an encyclopædia. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 13:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
