[edit] Fluid bonding
Delete - no sources that indicate this is anything other than a neologism. Otto4711 05:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --Selket Talk 06:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as complete bollocks. Not even a neologism but just someones musings - Peripitus (Talk) 10:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Uncertain. I'd like to rebut the previous comment while abstaining from a position on the question, the term "fluid bonding" has wide usage inside the polyamory community, as can be seen with a simple Google search, [1] . I have not searched for further evidence of the term in printed work, but would suggest that The Ethical Slut and D. Anapol's book "Love without Limits" would be places to look to verify or rebut the notability of the term. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joe Decker (talk • contribs) 21:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC).
- Comment. I happen to have a copy of The Ethical Slut right here, and (granted, I haven't read it yet, but) after flipping through it, I can't find anything about fluid bonding in it. There's no index, though, so I can't be sure it's not mentioned. —Carolfrog 21:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Carolfrog: Thank you kindly for looking, I couldn't find my copy. It's quite possibly not there, I was just thinking that if it existed that that would be a likely place to find it crop up in print. While I can't shake my personal sense that the term is notable, if I can't find sources I have to go along with deletion. --Joe Decker 03:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. Google search above, while showing the term is used in the polyamorous community, it is far more used in the polymer plastics industry. Thus the current article needs to go. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Rename to Fluid bonding (sexual practice) and Redirect current page to Polymer science. The sexual practice of fluid bonding deserves an article, but Dev920 is right about the plastics.—Carolfrog 21:00, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of sexuality and gender-related deletions. -- Carolfrog 21:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I've always heard it as "exchange of bodily fluids", as in, "hey, let's exchange bodily fluids": a deliberate sexualization (and reclamation?) of clinical (probably educational) terminology. The phrase is in common enough use, but I'm running short on verification. — coelacan — 03:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
