Cultural references to masturbation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

An extremely indiscriminate "pop culture" trivia spinoff article that basically seeks to document every single passing reference to masturbation known to man. Includes such important tidbits as "The TV show Family Guy makes references to masturbation in at least five episodes," and a huge, completely speculative list of songs that may or may not be about masturbation, all of which is original research as well.

 * Delete Original research, and no encyclopedic value. -- Auto ( talk / contribs ) 16:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as Auto suggests, its original research. The article is also unmaintainable and inherently WP:NPOV: how do we decides what counts as a cultural reference, and how do we decide if something is or is not a reference to masturbation? Gwernol 17:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's another of those lovely "popular culture" articles. YechielMan 17:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete apparently just saying the word counts as a reference, so this is too indiscriminate. Croxley 04:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete writing down what one sees is not necessarily OR, but can be very unnotable.DGG 04:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Otto4711 05:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete it and the main article will get flooded with these references in no time. If it has maintainers now they won't last long. Pavel Vozenilek 09:08, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If references pop up that shouldn't be there, be bold and remove them. Krimpet (talk/review) 17:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Being bold gets one pretty tired after some time and getting inevitable 3RR is a great morale booster. I would't want to be the maintainer for this article. Pavel Vozenilek 19:54, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
