Edging (masturbation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article fails WP:DICDEF. Any encyclopedic material which might theoretically come to light in the future could simply be inserted (ahem) in the masturbation or orgasm control articles. Notability also questionable; as evidenced by complete lack of wikilinks - even in the aforementioned articles. Article has been around for two years with no evidence of advancement.

 * Delete Per nom, this is ridiculous, and has no WP:RS (I'm pretty sure "Penis resources.com" is not going to be considered reliable). This was apparently a redirect from Dec. 07 through June of this year, and was reverted back to an article by an IP without explanation, no improvement since then and unlikely to be coming along anytime soon.

 * I considered that, but I don't see the point, to be honest; nobody is going to be searching for the term Edging (masturbation). I suppose we could move Edging (climbing) to Edging and then add a DAB link to either orgasm control or to Wiktionary (who don't seem to recognize this usage).

 * In response to the previous comment about people looking up the term, I heard the term "edging" used by Dan Savage on the Savage Lovecast Episode 53 . I then looked up the term on wikipedia to find out what practice he was referring to. Since the podcast is very popular, and the term isn't used in every day language, I suspect other people might be looking it up as well 70.190.151.83 (talk) 20:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not particularly relevant, though; we have a dictionary where people can look up the meaning of a word. That's the problem with this article; it's nothing but a dictionary definition. Matt Deres (talk) 23:30, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The term has been used by the notable sex advice columnist Dan Savage in published material. see Savage Lovecast Episode 53. 70.190.151.83 (talk) 20:46, 5 August 2009 (UTC) — 70.190.151.83 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete Wikipedia does not need a WP:DICK-DEF like this.  Heck, it's not even a WP:HOWTO guide ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 20:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
