The result was Keep. Fram (talk) 13:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
for the same reasons to delete homosocial (see afd). Except this is also original research. YVNP (talk) 22:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the same reasons given in the homosociality AfD (widespread use in thousands of scholarly articles and hundreds of books). Pperhaps a case could be made for merging the two articles, but that's outside the scope of this AfD. --Itub (talk) 09:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the same reasons given in the homosociality AfD - over 2000 articles on Google Scholar - I haven't vetted them, but even if only 1% of them are reliable - this concept is notable Fosnez (talk) 13:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Many of the references in Fosnez's Google Scholar search are empirical studies published in respected journals such as the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Therapy and Research, and the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. This topic has been widely recognized for decades, and several standardized tests have been developed to measure the construct. Many reliable sources are available to reference this article.

Keep - this appears to be a notable concept of sociology. The article is stubby, but could be expanded using some of the references mentioned already. Aleta(Sing) 15:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
