I've tagged the article for NPOV, as it presents Spack's view on transgenderism and children, in particular on the medical transitioning of children and adolescents, without presenting much in the way of dissenting views. This seems to be partially a matter of "coatracking," as the article about the doctor is used as a springboard to discuss his views, but without opposing views shown. -109.40.1.3 (talk) 12:21, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
i agree. This article retains many of the same issues about NPOV & coatracking. It is one of those biography articles of people just marginally known well enough to be deserving of their own wiki, which seems to have likely been written either by the subject of the wiki himself or someone very close to the subject.

The fact is that Dr. Spack said that, it doesn't matter whether there is a dissenting view on the topic, as this is a biography so to say of Dr. Spack. Firey709 (talk) 20:22, 26 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
