Article reads as an essay, contains a number of questionable sources, including a blog, a college thesis, and a wiki, contains a large amount of quotes, and is not written from a neutral point of view. Although the subject of the article may meet notability requirements, it is so un-encyclopedic now that it should be blown up and stated over or userfied.

- Redirect but I don't know where. The article is basically a coatrack for two studies, not that these are not reliable studies, but we wouldn't write a whole article around them. Whether the redirect is to Big Bang Theory, or some article about the representation of women in culture, I'm not sure, but at worst, The Big Bang Theory is a target, though it is large and perhaps a bit clunky at the moment (the awards table can be split off, that's a common means to trim down, and the section about all the relationships without any sourcing seems like OR); this criticism of the show for how it depicts female characters should be in the critical reception section there. -- MASEM ( t) 15:22, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom. It is an essay. Bazinga. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Just an essay. Doubt redirect would be useful. However the topic itself could have encyclopaedic value and any useful part of that should be transferred to the theme or critical review section of the main article. Cowlibob ( talk) 19:20, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

- Return to draft space - I do believe that the subject is notable. The problem here is neutrality, which could potentially be solved via editing. Merging with TBBT is not really viable as that article is very large already, as noted. Perhaps the best idea would be to re-work this into a larger topic ("critical reception of TBBT") which can go into more depth than the main article, but also cover more points of view than presented here. Regardless, it seems like somethign could be worked out in draft space to salvage the contribution rather than "blow it up and start over".

- Delete- Just an essay. The topic does not seem notable, and I doubt it can be covered [[WP:NPOV|neutrally] even in principle. Reyk YO! 16:15, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
