Does not appear to be independently notable. No references demonstrate this to me. Merrill Stubing (talk) 07:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep aside from the marketing and two specific websites, they are covered in several books. Being a sex toy, I can't imagine a ton of independent publications on them as well. There isn't a specific notability guideline for sex toys, but I would consider there notable enough for an article. Side note: a retiring judge has an interesting story about em' that may end up in her book.--NortyNort (Holla) 10:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Then please source the article itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merrill Stubing (talk • contribs) 14:23, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notability established by a hundred hits on Google Scholar and the references already described.  The nominator does not appear to have investigated possible sources per WP:BEFORE #4, and has not explained why the situation has changed since the keep on this article just a year ago.

 * This article is also one of many sex toys AfD'd.--NortyNort (Holla) 21:35, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep -- obviously notable and referenceable. Suggest submitter read WP:BEFORE before performing any more nominations for deletion. -- The Anome (talk) 15:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
