[edit] The Pencil Test

Not an encyclopedic article JRawle 15:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and rename to just pencil test. Women talk about this all the time; it has been an established part of female culture and breast lore for perhaps as long as there have been pencils. 1,370 Google hits on this sort of usage. I don't know if that's enough to establish notability, but I would wager that if you asked a hundred different women they would all know what you meant. Daniel Case 16:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I had no idea about this until I read it and verified. I did ask some people and they knew what it was. Should be added to, maybe some history, etc. but a keep either way. Agree with the Rename too. The Deviant 16:58, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep This is potentially verifiable. Also remove the definite article from the article title.  (aeropagitica)  17:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I've heard of this test before, although the article does need work to bring it up to standard. Grandwazir 20:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE: OK, I'm going to try to get this up to some degree of snuff, starting with a move and slight rewrite. I am at a loss as how to categorize it, however ... it seems to me there should be a Breast category, which this would be perfect for (I thought of merging, but there really doesn't seem to be a good place for it in breast) as there are enough other articles to justify one.

And if there is, should there be a breast-stub, as well? The mind shudders: "This breast-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by stuffing it with toilet paper or cotton balls ..." Daniel Case 06:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
