 * Of those links, only ones for MSNBC, New York Times, The Atlantic, and Best Places are still active. The domain name SexWeekAtYale is for sale. Peter Chastain (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Sex Week at Yale → Sex Week – The name of the event has apparently changed Peter Chastain (talk) 20:22, 1 March 2014 (UTC) Yale seems to have demanded that the sponsoring student organization remove "Yale" from the name. (See this blog.) Apparently, there are now Sex Week events at a number of colleges and universities (Morality in Media lists seven), so I would suggest renaming the article Sex Week and including information about those other events. Obviously, Sex Week has stirred up a lot of controversy, so we should definitely add a Reaction section. Peter Chastain (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I am having second thoughts. There is currently a debate among politicians and others about the event at University of Tennessee Knoxville (I have included some sources in the article); I think we could easily end up with as much, or more, material about UTK as we do about Yale. So now, I'm thinking we should maybe have one article about Sex Week, and individual articles for Yale and UTK and perhaps some of the others. I'd like to hear what others think about this. Peter Chastain (talk) 08:28, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Apparently, the event at UTK will happen next week, IIRC. I am pretty busy now but hope someone else will write a section or article about it. So far, I haven't seen any web references to how the event got started, who is organizing it, and other background -- just public and political reaction, and editorial reaction to the reaction. Peter Chastain (talk) 15:34, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Just because Yale may be demanding their name be removed doesn't mean we do, we use the WP:COMMONNAME. Zarcadia (talk) 17:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I no longer think we should rename this article. My motivation for the rename request was to reflect the expanded information I have been adding (about other institutions). I now think we should create a separate Sex Week )or Sex week article and move/expand that new content there, leaving this article to be just about Yale. I am inclined to withdraw my request, but thought I should wait for the seven days.
 * I am actually not sure what the new name is, if indeed it got changed, but if it is just Sex Week, I would eventually suggest renaming this article Sex Week at Yale University (or at least creating a redirect). Peter Chastain (talk) 18:39, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

End 2010 or 2012
If I understood the history correctly 2010 was the last SWaY. In 2011 it was "banned", or rather, the "aY" (at Yale) was forbidden, or something with this effect, cf. the Anna North 2011-11-11 Jezebel source. In 2012 Anna North was a panelist at some "sex week" event near Yale, I added a hoping for a name, either SWaY or only SW. In 2014 folks considered to rename the page (see above), so if there were further Sex Weeks they had another name and/or were not notable. The history section could be clearer about the end, maybe recycle the Jezebel reference if that covers it. –84.46.52.4 (talk) 10:44, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
