Autofellatio

Autofellatio (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Eptalon (talk) has nominated this page for deletion for the reason:

This article has been the cause of some disputes amongst admins, which largely centered on the use of images (now removed), and that there already was consensus to delete the article in another RFD (which I don't find at the moment, probably in 2006, or 2007). I therefore want to ask the community whether they see a potential for this article to be kept and expanded. A search of Google scholar revealed some papers, mainly in the field of psychology and psychiatry; I am not an expert in either field, so I cannot judge if these are pertinent. Please note that I will not vote in this discussion, in order to be able to stay impartial. Also note that this is about keeping or deleting the article, the actions of admins that acted on this article are out of the scope of this vote. Thank you for expressing your opinion.

Please discuss this deletion below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options that are not just "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

Discussion

• Keep as article creator. I only created a stub, to be expanded. As is mentioned above, scholarly sources do exist. They will be added in time. Autofellatio has religious significance, sexual significance and psychological significance, as determined Soup Dish (talk) 21:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep - this is an encyclopaedia. Our aim is to create articles to inform other people. I think no child will use Autofellatio in the search field. Other wikis have such an article too. Barras (talk) 21:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete - The purpose of this article with the image seems to be exactly to bring about the mega debate we have here, for purposes of being provocative. Very few people want to see this and those who do can find it easily elsewhere. It is also illegal in many countries. Blockinblox - talk 21:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment - If that is what you think, then why is it on the English Wikipedia too? Honestly, if they don't want to see it, just don't go to the page. Versus22 _talk 22:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Keep - Autofellatio is a highly notable subject medically speaking, and socially speaking. Dispite the reams and reams of medical literature about it; it is also the subject of much sexual education and pornographic material (both straight and gay) which regardless of our personal distaste is still a notable use fof it. I can and will add many references for the subject to the article fr33kman ^talk 22:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep - as per Fr33kman, also per abusive deletion. There was never any consensus to delete this. It's an important subject, no matter how distasteful. Majorly ^talk 22:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep This article is about a notable subject and we aren't censored, so this article should remain. Razorflame 22:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral, leaning toward

  - I'm not sure, but I will say if kept only medical drawings should be used for images.--  † CM16  22:34, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  

  • •  Comment: - btw it's time to remove that "Wikipedia for kids" subtitle.--  † CM₁₆  22:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  •  Keep per Fr33kman, everyone has different tastes about the article. Also, as Majorly said, this is an important subject. If they don't want to see the images + words, just don't go to the page. Versus22 _talk 22:46, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep and re-add the image. The censorship of a clearly notable subject is appalling. At last count 15 other Wikipedias include this subject. Aiuw (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

  I'm looking at some of the interwiki links. en: solves the problem by putting the tasteless image in a "hide/show" box; that sounds like a good solution for majority English-speaking sensibilities. de: links to a subsection of "fellatio" (without an illustration), and I can also see their reason for that merge, instead of a separate article. The other langs all handle it with a line drawing, except for Swedish (no illustration at all), and Dutch (a less clear photo). None of them have got the tasteless photo in plain sight, except for Russian. Blockinblox - talk 23:52, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
