Bogaert’s book and WP:MEDRS

BTW, Bogaert’s monograph had acquired international fame before it appeared in print: Асексуализм признают четвертой сексуальной ориентацией (Asexuality is considered the forth sexual orientation) // Gazeta.ua. This article in a Ukrainian newspaper drew attention of the people to the fact that a special study of asexuality in the form of a book would be published next month by English-speaking scientist Anthony Bogaert (Template:Lang-ru). So the social value of the investigation is undoubted. It is certainly worth reading and including in this article about asexuality. --SU ltd. (talk) 06:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Bogaert is used as a reference for different parts in this article already. And you included a Bogaert reference in the Further reading section you created. So what is it that you are proposing be added to this article that concerns Bogaert? Flyer22 (talk) 06:53, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Nothing. I only wanted to say that his book had already become known in Russian-speaking countries, too. As you don’t understand my native language, you can read the same article in the original (in English). Well, I’d like to add that WP should contain an article about Anthony Bogaert, just as AVENwiki does. It seems he is now the leading researcher in this new field. Unfortunately, I’m not able to take part in WP very much now as I’ll be busy outside WP for a month or more. --SU ltd. (talk) 14:15, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes, when extensively researching asexuality when trying to ensure that this article would reach WP:GA status, it occurred to me that Bogaert's done the most recent extensive research on asexuality, or rather the most research on it. As you mentioned, and as the Asexuality article notes, asexuality is not widely studied; it's still a relatively new field of research. So far, Bogaert leads in that field.
