Title dispute

edit

Since there are no identified human sex pheromones, it is unclear why there is an article on the subject. Otherwise, it seems that editors can create topics on phenomena that do not exist or have not been verified. I am sure it is well intentioned, but I question the notability. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:02, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

To Smokefoot: Can this be treated the same as entries like World War III or Human extinction?--by Huhu9001 (talk) at 16:41, 30 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

What would you suggest for a title? The title leads to the article if the title that is currently in place was not used how would someone searching now that as you say "...there are no identified human sex pheromones? The title, IMHO, should stand. TheAthenian69 (talk) 20:37, 2 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Upon reflectoin the topic is just too far from my expertise and interests. And it is a topic that could attract a lot of pop-culture attention, which is a direction that I avoid or am not good at. So I withdraw my concerns, good luck!--Smokefoot (talk) 16:44, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
This should be changed to "possible human pheromones" assault any reference to it. Frankly, within biology,people who study this are considered a bit if a joke as pheromones are most often defined by vomero-nasal detection,ie without said organ the pheromone pathway is absent and we are no longer talking about pheromone detection, but something fundamentally different. Honestly, the life sciences has a huge publication bias, but the specific replicability problems and positive publication bias of studies with tiny participant-pool issues have been brought up time and again by those attempting reviews and meta-analyses. The title if the article is totally misleading and will lead layperson to falsely presume that human pheromones are somehow considered established amongst scientists, to that I say as much as homeopathy, that is to say, not at all... talonx78.55.93.41 (talk) 19:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians! I like this page and think the writer did a good job. I would like to see some pictures relating to this subject added as well as some pictures of scientific graphs pertaining to this subject.Christian Barrow (talk) 06:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I would be interested in starting to edit this page based on a review of human pheromones [1] [1]. Advice on the best approach welcomed. TristramWyatt (talk) 14:43, 29 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

No established human pheromones have been proven to exist with any statistical power. Talonx78.55.93.41 (talk) 19:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
