Can someone explain to me why this page was deleted?
editWhile the page touched upon similar topics to the page LGBT reproduction, the purpose of the page was entirely different as was the format? SoyMilkIsBestMilk (talk) 01:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- @SoyMilkIsBestMilk LGBT reproduction is better sourced, phrased, and formatted, and touches upon an entirely identical topic. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 06:52, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Are you able to provide specific examples so I may learn how to improve? I am not sure exactly what better sourced and formatted means exactly. For example, is it the quantity of sources? SoyMilkIsBestMilk (talk) 22:46, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- @SoyMilkIsBestMilk That was one issue (I was already removing unsourced information before finally deciding to redirect), along with the fact that the article wasn't formatted well and was also on the same subject as LGBT reproduction. This help page helps with finding reliable sources. Good sources can found at the bottom of all featured and good articles. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:29, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Could you elaborate on the format criticism as well? Like were the section titles misleading or were the subcategories such as breaking down artificial insemination into, picking sperm, IUI, and ICI unhelpful? Or something else entirely? SoyMilkIsBestMilk (talk) 03:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- @SoyMilkIsBestMilk The article didn't appear to be standardized with other Wikipedia articles; the table, in particular, would've been pretty difficult to fix. In the context of an article with an identical/near-identical topic, I realized it was better to just redirect. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:43, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Apologies for I am not very familiar with wikipedia, "standardized"? Like the original article before its deletion had an atypical layout? SoyMilkIsBestMilk (talk) 05:12, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry for the odd phrasing; yeah, the layout was atypical. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 05:16, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- You mention the table specifically, was it confusing how it was supposed to be used in reference to the article? I created the table, so I knew its purpose, but from an outside observer like yourself did it or did it not make sense? SoyMilkIsBestMilk (talk) 20:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
