Aug 27, 2013 at 18:20 comment added ChrisW @Oddthinking Finding and reading a claim can be informative. I cannot answer this now, but I found your list of suggestions for how to select better references, as well as a list of some reliable sources.
Aug 27, 2013 at 16:31 comment added Oddthinking @ChrisW: :-) I didn't read that far; I was just looking for notability specific to soy, men and virility. You should use that as a good start to an answer (But check it isn't cherry-picked.)

Aug 27, 2013 at 14:44 comment added ChrisW @Oddthinking The last comment, at the bottom of the HealthLevelUp link which you edited-in to the answer, lists nine studies which allegedly address the issue and 'debunk' the referenced claim.

Found notable claim, focussed on one aspect.
Aug 27, 2013 at 12:34 comment added Oddthinking Thanks for the references. None of them deal with men, and in particular, men's virility. I added a new reference that made the claim, and made a significant edit that moved away from estrogren and more on the claimed effects. Hope that's okay.

Aug 27, 2013 at 12:17 comment added Git Gud @Ofir I understand. But I don't know enough about nutrition, hormones of the human body to ask a questiondealing with all the details. Thank for your input, though.
Aug 27, 2013 at 12:14 comment added Ofir About splitting to two parts, I'm not sure that's as simple as that, AFAIR soy contains something that is similar but not identical to Estrogen.

Aug 27, 2013 at 12:07 comment added Git Gud @Oddthinking Oh, all right. Thank you for warning me.

Aug 27, 2013 at 12:02 comment added Git Gud @ratchetfreak I'm not interested just in male fertility but rather in virility as a whole. Would changing the second part of your proposal to consider the more general issue suggested by comment be OK?
Aug 27, 2013 at 11:58 comment added ratchet freak could be split into 2 parts, does soy increase estrogen and are high levels of estrogen harmful to a male's fertility
