Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The penis showing game

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Speedy delete as a simple re-creation of content deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Penis-showing game. There's no reason that Wikipedia cannot have an anthropological article on an aspect of human behaviour, per Billy Blythe below. But neither this, nor the prior article, are anything like that at all, or even the start of such an article. Editors wanting a "smerge" should note that this is already mentioned in Waiting....

[edit] The penis showing game

• Delete nonnotable new fad. Mukadderat 01:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete nn game. Viridae^Talk 01:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Though there might be space for it in the Waiting... article. humblefool® 01:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There's nothing here that can't be covered in the movie article. Provides no evidence that this has become a notable fad in real life. Rohirok 01:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and if it isn't already in the Waiting article, move it there. --Wafulz 01:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete & merge into the Waiting article. There's no evidence that this is actually a fad (fortunately, if I may say so). Srose (talk) 01:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC

• Comment delete and merge is a violation of the GFDL. Has to do with credit for content. ColourBurst 02:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• I've been trying to figure out what to do with something like this. I found it patrolling new pages. I don't know why people do this, but I wish they wouldn't. It is true that in most cultures showing one's genitals is a means of showing disrespect. That's obvious, at least to me, an educated man. There could be an excellent article on the practise of showing the genital area as a way of showing contempt, but it would require experts from several fields, anthropology, classics, sociology, psychology, art history just to name a few. There could be an article here, and there probably are several out there. The problem is that this is a lowbrow thing made up in school one day that happens to strike a chord with cross-cultural human behaviour. I should have just let it be speedily deleted at once, and I regret putting up a hangon sign. Delete,please.Billy Blythe 01:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete uselessness. Am I losing my mind or has this been created and deleted already? Opabinia regalis 02:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as recreated deleted material. AFD was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Penis-showing game, and the page Penis-showing game has been deleted six times and now salted. Opabinia's mind is still intact, it would seem. Kuru ^talk 03:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as it appears to be notable. Unfortunately, I won't be able to doany major work on it for a few days, so it's likely to go to the trash heap anyway. --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non notable game. If this is a recreation of an earlier deleted article, isn't that against policy? doktorb _words^deeds 04:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge (into ...Waiting); A reference from a single (not-so-notable) movie does not establish notabilty. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Rinse, repeat.--Planetary 06:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speede Delete as per Kuru. Dionyseus 06:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge with Waiting..., in which it seems undercovered (by comparison with the Ebert review's interpretation of its importance to the story). --Dhartung | Talk 07:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
