[edit] Girlfriend experience

Girlfriend experience (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Violates WP:WINAD, does not establish notability per WP:N, has no references and violates WP:V, possibly violates WP:OR and WP:NEO. CyberAnth 04:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. non-notable jargon --JWSchmidt 04:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete I do agree this seems to be a jargon term and pure dictdef. Sourcing and a discussion of the sociological implication would help that, but a cursory Lexis-Nexis scan turned up nothing except a few trivial mentions not related to this usage. Wintermut3 05:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC) Keep per added sources. Wintermut3 07:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Wintermut3. WJBscribe (WJB talk) 05:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Changed to keep following the references that have been added. Article now appears to meet WP:N and WP:V. WJBscribe (WJB talk) 17:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep I just got a spam today with a header that said "looking for a GFE?". I came here to look it up. Its odd that it would be deleted on the same day. I get 78,000 Ghits. You can't search one database and call it quits, Lexis-Nexis or Google Scholar are not ideal for sexual neologisms. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Concept is notable; article should be tagged. Bad-faith, disruptive mass nomination per WP:POINT. Please read Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#Before_nominating_an_AfD so that you may familiarize yourself with the possible alternatives that should be undertaken before nominating an article. --Dhartung | Talk 06:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • comment Richard, per the WP:V requirement, however, non-trivial reputable/scholarly sources are needed, on many of the other sexual topics nominated today, there are those sources, on this one, there are not. I find Lexis to be a bit better than, say, google, at determining what's been studied in a serious context or mentioned in news sources, it is the premier database of news articles and journal articles. Wintermut3 06:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment - the article currently has 3 non-trivial sources. One is the Villgae Voice article and another was written by a PhD researcher is Sexology. Johntex\talk 08:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I was about to add the reference I found in the Village Voice, and someone just beat me to it. Bravo! Yes Lexis Nexis is a gentlemen's database, but not not one to use to find what a "gentlemen's club" is. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 07:03, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep notable term and concept. Improve their articles references instead of deleting it. Johntex\talk 07:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Point taken Richard, sorry if I sounded a bit stuck up there, I'm just (rather justifiably in my opinion) tired of the "if it doesn't exist on 'google' it doesn't exist" bias. Wintermut3 07:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. A cut-and-paste nom gets a cut-and-paste !vote. Echo commentary above. --Dennisthe2 09:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep - sources added, and for Pete's sake, just open any newspaper (like the New York Times or Christian Science Monitor) personal ad's to see this ;o) SkierRMH 10:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep as another of this nominator's attempts to bowdlerize Wikipedia. Please see WP:POINT. Tarinth 10:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep due to article having serious references. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep. If the nom wants a Wikipedia devoted only to articles suitable for children, perhaps he should start one himself. He might find it easier than constantly proposing perfectly good (if not G-rated) articles for deletion. --Charlene 12:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep: Don't agree with reasons stated for deletion. Atom 13:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Consider how many hours of other people's time this long list of AfD's submitted is wasting.

  • Speedy keep, I cannot AGF on this, these bunch of AFDs are disrupting a point. Strongly disagree with the nomination, it is definitely notable of course, everything (sources, content, notability) are all present. That's all. Terence Ong 15:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It's something that goes on in the world, it has references, and the article is substantiative enough not to violate WINAD. Squidfryerchef 18:00, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Notice - respondants to this AfD may be interested in this proposal at WP:V to clarify that article improvement is preferable to deletion or blanking. Johntex\talk 21:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, I don't suppose explaining all over again is necessary in this case. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 22:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Weak references, but fixable. Yet another AfD in a pattern by CyberAnth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kesh (talk • contribs) 17:52, January 6, 2007
  • Keep - This is a widely used term Albatross2147 23:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for all the reasons stated previously and on other similar AfDs. Mallanox 03:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary usage guides or slang and idiom guides. TheMindsEye 03:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I found this listing useful, which prompts me to question whether the few objections are rooted in moral prespectives. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.231.195.16 (talk) 06:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC).
