There is no such thing as "fifth-wave feminism". All of the citations in this article are about Caitlin Moran's book How to Be a Woman which satirically argues for a "fifth-wave feminism". There are no serious academic works discussing a fifth wave of feminism. I tried to redirect the article to How to Be a Woman, but was reverted. Kaldari (talk) 06:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to How to Be a Woman § Fifth-wave feminism. It's a term that the subject coined, but has only received marginal coverage; not enough to qualify a standalone article, in my opinion. Merging is a functional WP:ATD-M in this case. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Restore redirect, per nom. Better to ask for a third opinion than to take the discussion to AfD, generally—there isn't a cause for outright deletion here. czar 20:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to How to Be a Woman. Like the others said, it does not seem to have significant coverage. Perhaps most tellingly, there are no hits at all on JSTOR. A few Google hits do show that journalists have connected the term to the author, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:25, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
