[edit] Turkey slap

Nonnotable neologism, apparently has only happened on the Australian version of Big Brother NawlinWiki 13:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The term pre-dates this particular incident and the reference to big brother pushes it beyond a dictdef. Ace of Sevens 14:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Ace of Sevens. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 14:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect into Teabagging, were an alternative name (Windmilling) is alredy present.--blue520 14:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This isn't quite the same thing as teabagging. If anything, I'd move windmilling to this article. Ace of Sevens 15:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Yeah, I agree. --Deon555|talk 04:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep apparently a notable term that has seen use and exposure on television. Also, apparently can be a crime. Seems interesting and worthy of an article. Yanksox 15:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is a well known term, and there are MANY pages on wikipedia about sexual terms like this. Teabagging is a good example, and a turkey slap is a much more well known term. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.131.67.66 (talk • contribs).

• Keep. Everyking 05:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, unfortunately. Teabagging seems to be a different practice that would need its windmilling component separated out (split) anyway. —Pengo 06:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep i had a comment before, but id just like to mention this term isn't native to australia. i spent 6 months in stockholm last year and people there knew what it meant. like the swedes who spoke english. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.228.43.10 (talk • contribs).

• Keep This is not something that has only happened in Big Brother, and the term has been used many times before Big Brother Australia. --JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 10:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• KeepI see no reason why this should be deleted.--Sebjac 15:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• KeepWell known term. -Starlet 00:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete - what?? It's sexual assault, whatever fancy name you want to give it. -- 9cds^(talk) 08:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I can understand it being an offensive term, but that itself does not merit deletion. Deletion would have to be judged upon (sigh, I can't believe I am saying this) on whether or not it is a notable form of somekind of sexual assault. There are quite a few of sexual slang terms that exist on Wikipedia that are ptobably a felony or considered immoral. But that exist on here because in someway, shape or form, they are notable. Some examples are: this, this, this, this (which survived AfD twice, and others. So, I don't think how offensive, degrading, or revolting the term is merits deletion in this circumstance.

• Keep per Yanksox, and I second everything he says - well put. If only encyclopedias could be restrictive, eh? Srose talk 11:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Keep it. Encyclopedias should not be self-censoring.

• Keep per all above. In particular, a redirect would not be appropriate as (and I can't believe I'm typing this in an AfD) teabagging is not the same thing as turkeyslapping -- Synapse 20:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Yanksox. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 06:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Distinct notable concept. Ansell 04:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
