Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fetish fashion

Fetish fashion was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to delete the article.

Should an encyclopedia article start with "I think..."? I think this article is "sad and not wonted": too generalised. Timberline 23:17, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Looks like a newbie test. The writing is subfluent, to be mild about it, and the contents bear no relation to the title.  Furthermore, the current contents are all the contents that have ever been.  Before anyone says it, yes, it is possible to have an article about clothing worn as part of sexual fetish play, and it is possible to talk about the era when fetish gear had a fashion (after stupid McLaren's stupid shoppe got those stupid clothes onto...well), but if anyone has a hankering to write any of those articles, please wait to let this be deleted and then start from scratch.  There isn't any particular point in preserving this in the article's history. Geogre 02:00, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: to be perfectly honest I'm quite surprised this wasn't speedily deleted shortly after being posted. Rje 02:02, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research, personal essay. Borderline speedy candidate as newbie test and "Very short articles with little or no context." BTW don't you think the author probably means fetish in the sense of "An object of unreasonably excessive attention or reverence" or "An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation," rather than "Something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body, that arouses sexual desire?" (Definitions from AHD4). In case anyone does gets bold enough to speedy-delete it, and anyone else wonders what we're talking about, the entire content of the article is: [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:40, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * " Fashion "


 * I think that fashion wear is worne by people and the way they express their self and fellings. Light colors are for when people are happy and dark colerd clothes are for when people are felling sad and not wonted.When people in Hip Hop wear there clothing and it is baggie or sagging it is a way of life and how they were brought up and the way their life is being lived.
 * P. S. I couldn't stand the language, so I cleaned it up to thinking that the mental participation of rewriting might help me judge the content rather than style. Some may prefer the original, shown above. I still vote Delete, of course. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:49, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * I thought of that other definition, and I think youre fellings are right, but I was worred about what other peopel were going to say when they started saying that no stub shold ever be deleeted. Geogre 05:32, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete. Would like to see a proper article on the topic though. If there's a rewrite, let me know on my user page so I can reevaluate this vote. --Improv 14:53, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
