[edit] The aladdin

Delete - seems like there should be something explicitly saying on WP:NOT that WP is not UrbanDictionary 2. Wickethewok 07:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Dont Delete - If 'donkey punch' and 'glass bottom boat' are allowed in the hall of wikipedia i see no reason why The aladdin should not be allowed. It is a common term which is used collqially in Australia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.168.97.183 (talk • contribs).

• I call bullshit on the above claim, because I've never heard of it. Seriously, this is a dictdef. The majority of the top google hits when searching ["The aladdin" sex act] refer to either the casino, the fictional character, or the Disney movie; making this an unverifiable dictdef. Donkey punch has this nice "Cultural references" section which contributes to its inclusion by referring to when the term appears in tv shows and other media. Delete unless verifiable by a reliable source. -- Saberwyn 08:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Aladdin, Las Vegas. WP:NOT a slang dictionary, and the only reference is a link to urbandictionary.com. I'm suggesting redirect because with "The" pre-pended, I think of the casino. Alternately, delete. --Alan Au 07:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• "dont delete" - Still didnt answer the question of why if there is glass bottom boat and donkey punch, and dirty sanchez (all which are slang) then why can there be no aladdin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.168.97.183 (talk • contribs).
  • The Donkey Punch and Dirty Sanches phenonema are externally verifiable through the use of reliable sources and references to in several major film and television works. The Alladin isn't -- Saberwyn 08:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Donkey punch has a large section discussing cultural references, which lend notability to the topic. As for Glass bottom boat, I've removed the dictionary defintion from the disambiguation page. The Talk:Dirty Sanchez (sex) page also contains some information about why that article was kept. However, until the article contains more verifiable information about its widespread use, I consider it to be too much of a niche topic. As an additional comment, the article is poorly named (but that's easily fixable later). You may also find the Wikipedia:Importance page useful. --Alan Au 08:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
