Brain and Language Course Project Additions[edit]

I will be working on this article for my brain and language course this semester as a class project and I invite feedback from the wiki community. My draft can be found in my sandbox here: User:Samclarke33/sandbox/

This article is extremely underdeveloped and needs help with spelling, grammar and context. I've updated a few things in the first two paragraphs, and plan on adding more to the article here in the next few weeks. Eeichmann139 (talk) 22:19, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Needs context[edit]

This article badly needs context. What is developmental dsyfluency, and why is it a useful concept? Looie496 (talk) 17:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC) This article is poorly written and needs more context and sources. Adding background to the context can also become more useful.

I will be editing this article for my behavioral neuroscience course this semester. If when reading this article if anyone would be willing to offer advice on how I can improve this article, please leave a message on either the talk page of the article or on my own talk page. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Nicholas2015 (talk) 05:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as this article falls under Wikiproject Medicine there are some guidelines that need to be applied. WP:MEDRS & WP:MEDMOS give some idea into what is needed. Sources are preferably secondary, that is to say, not research papers but rather reviews, professional text-books and position statements from major organizations. Also it is preferable to use sources published within the last 5 years. Consider adding a pubmed ID so that they can be found quickly, not just the doi. A pubmed search will yield many good results [1], and if you do not have access through your university feel free to pop me a mail (use the form) with a pubmed-link to the review and I will help out as best I can.

We also tend to discourage use of Webmd as a source. The Jaoa review is the best one on the list in my opinion. CFCF (talk · contribs · email) 22:05, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AfD: Nominated for deletion[edit]

Moved to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Developmental dysfluency

Reasons: (1) The terms "developmental dysfluency" or "developmental disfluency" are rarely used in the scholarly literature. For example:

Google Scholar search for "developmental dysfluency" (exact phrase, any time, no patents, no citations) returned only 72 results.
Google Scholar search for "developmental disfluency" (exact phrase, any time, no patents, no citations) returned only 137 results.
Google nGram search for "developmental dysfluency" (exact phrase, 1800–2008) found zero results.
Google nGram search for "developmental disfluency" (exact phrase, 1800–2008) found zero results.

A total of 209 results for the phrase (both spelling variations) might sound like a lot to some, but contrast those numbers with Google Scholar searches (any time; no patents; no citations) for stuttering (97700 results), or dyslexia (203000 results).

(2) When the term is used, it lacks a consistent definition. (a) Some websites and occasional articles define "developmental dysfluency" as the difficulties with proceeding with words and sentences, such as hesitancy, mispronunciation, or stuttering, exhibited by toddlers and preschool children as they learn to speak. (b) Other publications use the phrase as an umbrella term for speech disorders such as stuttering or cluttering. (c) Most commonly, developmental dysfluency means abnormal difficulties proceeding with words and sentences, e.g., hesitancy, mispronunciation, stuttering, or cluttering into the primary (elementary) school years when the vast majority of children display increasingly fluent speech.

(3) The article's statistics, including the fact that no other articles link to the page, provide additional evidence for the term's relative obscurity. Basic stats for the article: 30 revisions since 2007-12-03 (+56 minutes), 15 editors, 86 pageviews (30 days).

~~(Note: Later today, I will add a couple of references to support my point #2.)~~

Since the consensus was to keep this article ...[edit]

Since the consensus was to keep this article, I added a section to the Stuttering article, which was needed anyway, and wikilinked to it in the first sentence of the present article in which I also mention the alternative name, normal disfluency (diff). I also added a hatnote to that section of the Stuttering article linking to this one. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.

It seems that this article was revised extensively; during this revision correct capitalization was added to the title of the article, which appears to have created a separate page. This change was made by capitalizing the "D" in dysfluency. The consensus to keep this article may have been made without knowing there was a separate page discussing the same topic.Amaynes55 (talk) 21:52, 30 September 2020 (UTC) AM[reply]

I've merged the articles. --Xurizuri (talk) 22:51, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
