Comments[edit]

Hello. I have a couple suggestions for this article. When explaining testosterone, I think it would be beneficial to explain what testosterone's specific roles are in the male reproductive system. This could also be done for estrogen as well. I also think explaining or cite linking spermatogonia would be beneficial to readers as well, since many probably do not what this is exactly. There's also just small grammatical errors I saw when reading your article. I don't think a comma is needed here, "These hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, and spread to different tissues in the human body." Also, a comma should be used in this sentence as well after the word systems and before including, "There are two reproductive systems including the male and female, which contain different organs from one another." Other than that, good work!Patronus07 (talk) 17:57, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article not needed[edit]

I see that a class has expanded this article, but this article really is not needed. It doesn't cover anything that can't be, or isn't already, covered in the Reproductive system article, and that article is where this page used to redirect to.

I will contact WP:Biology and WP:Anatomy about weighing in on this matter. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:15, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree An article with a nebulous title like this will be hard to expand given the ambiguous scope, and result in a lot of unnecessary duplication... and confuse readers (or more likely) they will not even be aware of it. I suggest merge to reproduction. --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:55, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. We have Evolutionary biology as well as Evolution, and nobody thinks that strange. The issue with the article here is that it is a stub; but everything was a baby, once. The topic is clearly notable and distinct, just as Neurology is distinct from Brain and Botany or Plant science is distinct from Plant. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:35, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
