Interspecies erotica

 * Delete Non-notable term. Never heard of it before. Not much of an article anyways. -Royalguard11Talk 00:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is two sentences and is unknown to people who didn't see the movie. -ScotchMB 01:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wow, a joke from a movie.  Wow.  Until someone can point to a 10 year history of the genre, it's just another case of someone seeing the movie and typing into a search box here.  Geogre 02:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The genre (which has nothing to do with bestiality, contrary to this article) actually has a history that is at least 30 years old. We have a proper article on one aspect of it at Rishathra. Uncle G 12:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * See, that's the problem. In science fiction, there has always been that "Kirk kisses the alien chick" stuff, and there has always been a form of science fiction novel that takes it further, but for those bordered by the terrestrial "interspecies" means either Clan of the Cave Bear or, much more likely, bestiality.  Geogre 14:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not entirely clear what problem you're describing. Inter-species means between species, whether one is talking about science fiction or not.  Arguing that there's confusion because to some this is a straightforward synonym for bestiality (which has the logical consequence that this article should be a redirect) contradicts your argument that this isn't such a synonym but merely a once-off joke in a movie.  I argue that it isn't synonymous with bestiality at all, that the content of this article is based on a joke in a movie, and that thus there's no confusion.  &#9786; Further to the point about the genre: Read this. Uncle G 18:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * "The problem" is that it is a term that means one things to science fiction fans and another thing to non-science fiction fans. To the one, it can be a genre.  To the other, it's just a faux euphemism.  Therefore, there's no way to keep it as a redirect to or parent of the science fiction "genre," because that term would be disturbingly inappropriate to people who think about real species.  Geogre 19:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There's no need for it to be the parent of anything. The parent is sex in science fiction, which can gain a breakout article on the subject of interspecies sex should it ever need to.  (It doesn't seem likely right now, given that the subject has roughly 1 sentence of discussion there at the moment. &#9786;) Uncle G 19:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. [Insert joke about "interspecies glamour photography" here]  Silensor 02:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- MrDolomite | Talk 03:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable neologism from a joke in Clerks II. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 03:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOT a repository for one-shot jokes from movies for which no one over the age of 12 is going to bother searching. -- Kinu t /c  05:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as it stands. It does occur in Science Fiction (e.g the Ringworld series) so there could be scope for an article but it'd be easier to start over.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  12:17, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not the place to catalogue every phrase from movies. JeffMurph 12:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, AdamBiswanger1 13:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -999 (Talk) 16:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom — and I immediately thought Rishathra, also. However, this is a dictionary pseudo-definition.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 21:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentIt also mean beastility? Wow, you learn something new from Wiki every day. I expected an indepth article about erotic relationships of intelligent species in fiction. Somewhere all the half-elves have to come from after all. (Reminds, I hope that book about that alien and that woman arrives soon, it sounded fairly interesting and slightly raunchy.) --84.184.95.77 23:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I learn something from Uncle G every day. It's apparent that an article at this namespace could be appropriate. However, this one certainly is not, for the reasons listed above -- no need for a page for a movie catchphrase, and no dicdefs. Delete. Jacqui ★ 20:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Edit. Keep, did you guys just search for it for the sheer purpose of deleting it? There are probably some other catch phrases from movies here, so I do not know what makes this one so wrong.  I do think it could be edited in light of recent arguments, though.
