[edit] Slut night

Slut night, although perhaps popular with the Butch-femme.com crowd, is, unfortunately not in a very large crowd at all. Delete per advertisement. JHMM13 (T | C) 00:43, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, sadly, as I would have no object to seeing butch and femme sluts sweeping the nation. My office is particularly dusty. ➥the Epopt 00:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-24 00:52Z
  • Delete per the Epopt -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 00:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep if cleaned up to include much more context. As it is it assumes readers know what "butch-femme" means (I have but a vague idea) and talks in a very parochial sense about "the nation". There is more than one nation. Tonywalton  | Talk 00:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep 3,770 Ghits for "Slut Night" Ruby 01:33, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
    • 35 distinct uses for butch femme events. Most of the hits you got were for swingers' events, college parties, bar nights, biker parties and other generic uses of the term. GeorgeStepanek\talk 14:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
So does this mean I can't do a Xena Night article? Ruby 22:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
It certainly seems more notable that this topic according to, for example, this reference. GeorgeStepanek\talk 06:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep, per User:Tonywalton; if no action taken, then Delete. -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 01:43, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as above.Blnguyen 01:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per JHMM13. -- Kjkolb 05:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I cleaned this article up a bit, but I couldn't really expand since I am not really an expert in the topic. — TheKMantalk 05:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm not an expert in the US lesbian subculture, but I happen to have staying with me someone who is, and she's never heard of it. GeorgeStepanek\talk 06:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I know someone who is straight and they've never heard of Wet T-Shirt Nite at Toys Topless. It's not like all lesbians know everything about the meatmarket part of the subculture. Ruby 14:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
True, but this term also gets very few Google hits, and I don't think it's worthy of a Wikipedia article either! GeorgeStepanek\talk 15:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. My sister, a lesbian since around 9 years now, has heard of but has never been to one of these events. The butch-femme principle in lesbian relationships is a recognized one, and slut night seems to be a generic term for these kinds of events. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs Germany 11:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Agreed w/ above. —This user has left wikipedia 12:15 2006-01-24
  • Keep as long as I get an invite to the next one... Kidding. Seems legit, again, I defer to those in the lifestyle to determine... Keep for now. Phantasmo 20:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete weak Google showing has convinced me that this isn't particularly widespread. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as per TonyWalton. Powers 23:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • comment, its on the nightlife wikicities now [1] -- Astrokey44|talk 23:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless shown to be verifiable. I'm skeptical of the specificity and notability of such an event. (Via mailing lists, I get notices for pretty much every Bay Area GLBT event as well as primarily straight-oriented sex-positive events, and have not seen one -- nor discussion -- for this event. Undoubtedly there are lesbian-only lists I'm not on, but there should be some mention of it in the community.) I have heard of other events -- gay, bi, straight, and mixed -- called "slut night", but can't find verification or sourcing of the one described in the article. MCB 01:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn neologism.  Grue  14:39, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • keep and wikify and source it. --Brian1979 15:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • keep (external link has been added as verification) or merge with Butch-Femme rather than delete.NotMe69 20:08, 29 January 2006 (UTC) (User's first edit.)
  • Delete Event name which will never be more than a stub, which appears tied exclusively to a single non-notable web site (Butch-Femme.com). No reliable sources outside of that web site. As an article, it appears to be little more than advertising, which is inappropriate to WP. It could be merged, if Butch-Femme existed, but it doesn't. --LeFlyman 22:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • The article does exist under a different name; I've added a redirect. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-30 13:48Z
