Glasses fetishism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sure, it exists; if it exists, there is porn of it. But there is no significant coverage of the topic in reliable sources. The article's sources are 1) a fringe psychoanalytic case report on a man with various fetishes, including a glasses fetish. 2) a two-sentence dictionary definition. 3) two blog posts about "megane", a Japanese term for attractive anime characters with glasses. It's debatable whether "megane" is even the same thing as glasses fetishism - finding a trait attractive is not really the same as having a fetish for it.

A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing better, mainly passing mentions and random self-published websites. There's one case report on Pubmed from 1966 - obviously not WP:MEDRS, a couple sentences in a tabloid, and some lightweight stuff about megane on Kotaku. Basically, all that RS has to say about this subject is that it's a fetish for glasses and it exists. That is not enough to justify an article. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 23:27, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Yes, Rule 34 applies, but no, there's insignificant coverage in reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 01:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Found out that a man was recently jailed due to his uncontrolled glasses fetish, other than that the internet is silent on this fetish. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 11:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
