Islamic views on oral sex

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is oddly specific and unnatural for an encyclopedia. There are no reliable sources supporting its general notability (WP:GNG) in the sense of focusing on this subject as their principle topic in a way that in turn justifies it as an encyclopedic entry independent from the main article Islamic sexual jurisprudence (a.k.a.: Sexuality in Islam). Basically what we have is a collection of Islam blogs/Q&A websites. But Wikipedia is not an Islamic blog or Q&A website, and should not be mirroring such material unless it has significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources. It is also worth noting that even the sole academic reference is about touching penises, not specifically oral sex per se, further weakening the case for notability. There is also some odd exceptionalism going on here. You will not find dedicated articles for oral sex in Judaism or Christianity (nor would I expect to). Wikipedia's main articles on religious proclivities towards sexuality (such as Sexuality in Judaism) are quite sufficient, and should remain so unless a very good case is made that the situation should be otherwise.

 * Redirect to Islamic sexual jurisprudence. Unnecessary WP:FORK stub with abysmal sourcing, WP:SYNTH and oddly specific topic. Dronebogus (talk) 13:02, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Islamic sexual jurisprudence. There are good sources out there on sex/sexuality in Islam or oral sex in general, but I'm not finding good sources that are specifically about this article's subject (looked in G News and G scholar). I bet there are some out there, but they'd be best added to the jurisprudence article until a split becomes necessary. Firefangledfeathers (talk | contribs) 02:36, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
