keep - historical value. Lots of references. Heck, we have articles about obsolete medical things, most prominent IMO being
Female hysteria (with its "tendency to cause trouble for others" :-). The lede must be updated, to include its removal and controversy. -

I think the more apt parallel would be the article
Asperger syndrome, which definitely has historical value along the lines of
Female hysteria. But there's no article for *diagnosis* of hysteria. I don't see any "diagnosis of" articles in Wikipedia for any disease/syndrome that isn't currently a valid diagnosis (but I might've missed something).

Merge and redirect. Since Asperger syndrome isn't a medical diagnosis in the DSM-5 and ICD-11 and those are the classification systems that are most used, having a standalone article about its diagnosis isn't really necessary. I agree with the nominator; the content should be placed in
Asperger syndrome and
Diagnosis of autism.
