[edit] Coughing fetishism

(Originally nominated as a speedy by User:Isolani). The only google hits this get is Wikipedia mirrors. Looks and smells like a hoax. Thue | talk 18:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep now. Thue | talk 18:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. While I've no doubt there's some strange duck out there who genuinely has a coughing fetish, it's definitely a non-notable one. — ceejayoz ^talk 23:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nn fetish, possible hoax, unsourced/unverifiable. MCB 04:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per ceejayoz. TheMadBaron 06:31, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Sexual fetish. I have known a couple of girls with sexy coughs, but smokers don't do it for me, sorry! --MacRusgail 13:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Smoking fetish. It's not a hoax, and Sexual fetish is way too broad for this marginal fetish. Owen× ☎ 14:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Unless somebody can find a reference for the information in the article, there is nothing to merge. Thue | talk 17:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

  It's easy to say "hoax" or "nothing to merge", but it doesn't take that much effort to come up with this information, either. I've added the links to the article, although the list should be pruned down, of course. Please reconsider your vote. Owen× ☎ 23:48, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

  • [1] is a Wikipedia mirror, but the others are fair enough. I based my deletion request on the fact that there were no google hits for "Coughing fetishism" -wikipedia, which I think is not an unreasonable mistake to make. Besides, it is primarily the responsibility of the original author to make sure there is at least one reference. Thue | talk 18:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
