[edit] Elf fetish

I have no doubt that this is a real phenomenon, but is this really a relevant topic? I mean, you can turn just about anything into a fetish, and that process is relevant (we already have an article about that, too), but surely the idea of having an article for every single thing someone has a sexual fixation on is counterproductive? Are we going to have a separate articles for hobbit fetishes? Ent fetishes? Highly specific food fetishes, like porridge fetishes? I mean, yeah, I exaggerate, but not that much. I just don't see any point in this. (Also, article cites no references and is probably original research, but that's kinda beside the point.) Captain Disdain 00:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. -- Captain Disdain 00:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as WP:OR. (if you are going after them all you have your work cut out, Capt. : Sexual_fetishism#Other varieties of fetishism). Yomangani 01:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, I'm not sure I have a problem with most of the ones on the list (though a couple of them strike me as a little too specific). I'd say that most of them are widespread and significant enough to deserve articles of their own -- things like BDSM, smoking fetishism and the like are obviously well-established areas of fetishism. I got no problem with that. This one is just way too specific, though. -- Captain Disdain 01:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This is not a fetish. Fetishes are sexual attraction towards objects, not people/characters. Also no sources, and no evidence of notability. Mdwh 01:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Not that this matters at all, but, well, uh, sure it is a fetish. How's that "graceful elfish person with pointy ears turns me on" thing different, in principle, from the "person with perfect feet turns me on" thing? -- Captain Disdain 07:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Mdwh. Original editor should have got themselves a dictionary - the article title is meaningless. There's also no evidence provided that it's a particularly widespread phenomenon. Seb Patrick 10:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research. Molerat 12:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per me hiding evidence my fetish exists. Seriously though articles on every fetish is a bit overboard, I think the magnitude of this fetish would haev to be demonstrated as some fetishes are widely held and written about such as foot fetishes. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 14:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and let me get back to writing my Gimli/Treebeard slash fiction. — Smerdis of Tlön 19:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as OR. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 19:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, OR, neologism. HGB 22:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, This is the eleventh wikipedian to vote delete. WP:OR, too short for an article, and wtf, elf fetishes? lol Monkey Brain_(untalk) 22:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom (despite my personal admiration for Liv Tyler, mm' mm' good). Original research, no sources cited. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I fail to see how this could be expanded beyond dictdef, regrettably. (even when elves are hot. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 08:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I would have kept if it had pictures, but it's just text. At least I would kept the pictures on my hard drive. Anomo 12:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
