[edit] Houdini (sexual behavior)

I put this up for proposed deletion, and the tag was removed by an anon. There's no assertion that the activity described in the article has been documented, and even if it has, why on Earth would it be important as anything other than a joke? Wikipedia is not a book of inside jokes, a dictionary (yet), or a forum for unverifiable original research. Brian G. Crawford 22:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It got my interest. There are references to it, with curious variations. It is placed in Category:Sexual urban legends where other such non-notable activities are articled. This is one of those cases where you either keep the article or delete the whole category and related articles, such as Gerbilling. SilkTork 18:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per SilkTork. Carlossuarez46 20:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as obscure, non-notable and lacking any references SilkTork - if you have any "references to it, with curious variations", please add them to the article. As for the category, please do delete any items in that are in fact non-notable or otherwise wrong for Wikipedia. I look forward to your AfD nominations.
