[edit] Nymphet

There is no salvagable content on this page that is not already elsewhere. The intro paragraph is "A nymphet is an adolescent young girl", and list of actors in this category is POV. Delete. brenneman^(t)(c) 07:48, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete : I do not see the point of this article. Is it about "numphets" ? In that case they do not even define what it is properly. This "definition" is followed by rambling and beating about the bush about borderline paedophilia. Manik Raina 08:50, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Ephebophilia. Proto t c 11:14, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup -- it's an extremely notable term coined by Vladimir Nabokov in Lolita ...(Edit by User:Ben-w)
  • Should'nt terms be defined in wikictionary ? Manik Raina 04:34, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
    • It is indeed a notable term. And it's covered in ephebophilia. Notable terms are defined in Wiktionary, but if there is more information than just a definition of a word, they may well gain articles. Proto t c 11:38, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup -- Just because there is not a great deal of content there now does not mean people will not add more. I think we should wait before hastily destroying an article. ...(Edit John B)
  • Also the comment about the list of actors being POV - surely if they fit the definition set out then that can't be POV

• Keep common term, page serves as disambig nicely.  Grue  19:59, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- Clearly an important term, and more content is likely to be added. If we deleted all articles with little content then we would delete all stub articles.(Edit Mark72)
• Keep and cleanup Perhaps we could change some of the aspects of the article, but we definately should not delete it, and the description of ephebophilia is clearly different and Nymphet is not cobered by that term. -- (Dave)
• Keep though I always thought it was spelled "Nymphette". --Barista | a/k/a マイケル | T/C 07:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep We should stop arguing about whether or not to keep this, and start working together to make the article better. Its one of the key words of one of the most important works of literature from the 20th Century.(Sarah) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.210.249.56 (talk • contribs) 12:43, 22 August 2005.
