I don't see why this should be its own article. This article is too UK-specific and mostly unsourced and should be deleted as it stands. QueenofBithynia ( talk) 20:42, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Not a topic that's afforded any coverage in reliable, secondary sources. I considered merging as an alternative to deletion, but there's already a brief treatment given to the topic at Sperm donation#Onselling, and even that is probably overlong.

- Delete per WP:OR. No reliable secondary sources are cited either within the article or in the Onselling section of the Sperm donation page. Unclear from basic Internet/Wikipedia Library searches that the term "onselling of sperm" has much currency to begin with; even the lone source cited within the article ( London Sperm Bank) does NOT use the term. There is even a Sperm donation laws by country page which this page points to, where this topic could be covered. Even if "onselling" seems like it *should* be discussed separately from "donation", we can't justify having a standalone page until there is SIGCOV on the topic.

- Delete Firefangledfeathers has the right rationale here. Lightburst ( talk) 00:28, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
