Asiaphile

 * Hello, I added this entry, since I consider myself an "asiaphile", I can change the entrance tomorrow, if you so want. I do however think this term should be included in wikipedia, since i personally know several asiaphiles, including myself. Sexual "deviations" should not be included from this online encyclopedia, so just delete any references to my own person and keep the entry. Cheers,
 * BTW, just check on google if you think "asiaphilia" does not exist, type in asiaphile. Regards. Phil (added to VfD page by User:217.80.4.70)
 * Delete, only usable parts are dictionary definition material. Gazpacho 10:04, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * (Moving this comment here from accidental posting in a separate deletion debate ) OK, then keep the dictionary type, like: "exclusive Attraction to Asian females by non-Asian male" or something like that  User:217.80.4.70
 * Delete. I can imagine an encyclopedic article about non-Asians who find Asians attractive. But there's nothing in here that could become part of such an article. --Szyslak 11:43, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: There is already a name for this, but this isn't it.  I can't recall it now, but it's not "Asiaphile."  In fact, folks in the west have fetishized Asian women for a very, very long time.  In the 18th c., Japanese women were sought.  Look at Gilbert & Sullivan.  The subservient china doll was a heady image in the west.  This is aside from the physical.  On the sexual/physical side, there is a strong current of caricature in pornographic literature going back as far.  Geogre 15:05, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect anything salvagable into Asian fetish, I think. Alphax (talk) 05:08, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect without merge to Asian fetish. Gazpacho 23:04, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I note that Asian fetish is wrongly named (preference for Asians is not a fetish), so perhaps Asiaphile should be deleted and then Asian fetish moved there. Gdr 13:04, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)
 * It's not a paraphilia either, so the -phile suffix isn't appropriate. The term "Asian fetish" is probably the most common term for this preference.  -Sean Curtin 06:22, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * It's not wrongly named, it's wrongly defined. Any sexual preference can become a fetish when it is necessary for sexual gratification. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 00:04, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
