 * Delete this really isn't even a dictionary definition IMHO.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  18:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Moderate keep. The term is widely used in the art sense (indeed "Barbie bondage" +art -wikipedia returns some 9,000 ghits), and feel that that section of the article can be expanded well beyond a dictionary definition. It does need considerable work - and references, of course (I've added one for starters) - but "needing work" is not a deletion criterion. Grutness...wha?  00:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you simply speculating, or have you actually gleaned some reliable, encyclopedia-worthy sources in those 9000 Google hits you're referring to?  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  20:18, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the one I added was in the first two or three items on google - I didn't have time to go through many of them to check, but i would assume that if one of the first two or three was reliable, others would be too. Also, as I said, the term is widely used in art (I work as an art reviewer and artist, and have come across the term on several occasions). It should not be hard to track down several encyclopedic references. Grutness...wha?  01:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
