The result of the debate was Redirect to human pony.

Note: although this was already done by 219.111.147.78 out of process on 22:59, 6 Jun 2005 and 12:46, 8 Jun 2005 , I am letting this redirect stand.

• Delete dicdef at best. --Xcali 06:12, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable activity. Didn't know there was a fetish associated. Kappa 07:04, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not much found on Google, seems like a hoax, notability in question -CunningLinguist 08:59, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, dictionary definition. Megan1967 09:25, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This page is pretty pointless as it is, and I don't see there being much potential to expand the article. Oracleoftruth 10:16, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, An encyclopaedia should be complete. Not just what you learn at school. Did you know that people like Aristotle enjoyed this? IT has historical background and in some cultures esp. in Haiti and Africa it is also used as a transport medium. Please note that just by lack of knowledge, do not go and delete it. See this page. It has proof of Aristotle has enjoyed this acrivity. --218.41.113.26 08:13, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I will consider changing my vote if the article provides proof that Plato enjoyed this activity. Gamaliel 22:54, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless we get the Plato proof, as per Gamaliel. — P Ingerson (talk) 22:59, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment ... and I always though shoulder riding was what the motorcycle riders on the shoulder of the pavement did while laughing at the people in cars who were stuck in a traffic jam ... - DS1953 23:01, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Perhaps Kappa or 218.41.113.26 could add material to the article to demonstrate the topic's notability. --Dcfleck 12:28, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
• Merge/redir to shoulder. Radiant_* 13:09, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete ➥the Epopt 16:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, could be expanded. Grue 11:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Google Aristotle pony-play to beleive me. Also the name of the woman who rode Aristotle was - Phillis. Google Aristotle and Phillis and see. Please help vote Keep to make this fabulous article and fetish in pubic eye and Wikipedia more complete--218.41.113.26 15:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • First of all, it's not Wikipedia's job to keep "this fabulous article and fetish in pubic eye" [sic]. Secondly, your references have nothing to do with "shoulder riding". They describes a different practice, which already has an entry on Wikipedia (Human pony). --Dcfleck 02:29, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
• Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:54, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• delete not a dictionary Mozzerati 19:37, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)

• Redirect to human pony as of Dcfleck --219.111.147.78 12:49, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
