Keep but rewrite. Notability is easily established; see, e.g.,
this book by an
UIUC professor of intellectual history or
this one. In short, whether male hysteria existed or not was the subject of a lively debate in nineteenth century psychiatry.

I've started to rewrite the article based on the sources that I've found.

Keep Although this article definitely has problems, and this diagnosis is obsolete, a Google Books search shows that the topic is notable. It is associated with 19th century French neurologist
Jean-Martin Charcot, who was a mentor to Sigmund Freud. It is better to keep, expand and reference the article, instead of deleting it.

Strong Keep As has been said above, the topic was a serious topic of intellectual debate that has been well-published in reliable sources.
