The result was Speedy keep. The AfD was not correctly posted and does not appear in today's listing. Also given that the nominator tried to remove another persons comments I am not sure that this was a good faith nomination. I have also just realised that this does not appear to be "one of a set of related pages about women's issues and criminology all created by a single editor".

This is one of a set of related pages about women's issues and criminology all created by a single editor that have a few things in common:

# A total lack of sources.  As of this writing, the page has exactly 0 citations to sources.
# A total lack of evidence of notability.  
# A total lack of evidence that the subject matter even exists independent of the wikipedia article.
# Requests for improvement that are several *years* old, in this case three.
# A connection to the topic of the editor's proposed PhD thesis.  

These pages have been up for long enough. If they're not improved in seven days, per the policy, time to take them down.

  • Speedy keep as bad faith nomination. User obviously hasn't bothered to read the page or look for sources before nominating it for deletion, since the page lists several sources and there's copious discussion in the literature of this idea. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 07:59, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep - Covered in every single intro to criminology textbook. I'll add some references for the nominator.
