List of flippant, vulgar and titillating proper names

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

List with subjective inclusion criteria. Additionally (and related) it's not clear why "flippant, vulgar and titillating proper names" should be considered together as a group. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  04:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep and cultivate. They're together as a group because whether or not a great many of them is humourous is debatable, and for the beholder; but as long as you have sufficient understanding, they're captured by the given descriptor.
 * The gauntlet has already been run on this, with List of unusual place names, List of chemical compounds with unusual names, List of unusual biological names, & the like. Those individual Talk-pages relate interesting stories on that.
 * Of course you can gatekeep on the sufficiency of 'unusualness' to go nuts trying to hunt them out of this database, but for some reason I don't notice you doing that.
 * Like it or not people will come to Wikipedia looking for lists of funny and absurd-sounding names, or if there's more along with the bizarre or ridiculous one they just found out about. There's no policy and no rule against bringing our aid to satisfy that curiousity. Doin' more for the world there & just for having-a-good-time than all these friggin' lists of episodes cruft.

 * The article Place names considered unusual actually has decent sources for most of the content with place names that have legitimately attracted attention in reliable sources. This list seems to be almost 100% original research, not citing sources for the proper names being considered "flippant, vulgar and titillating". (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:28, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Calling for better sources isn't a deletion argument, it's a quality improvement suggestion. Since you see a related article already has them, just proceed in sharing them across: WP:SODOIT. And how much do you really need a source to be sure that Wankers Corner is titillating any more than to be sure that baseball is a sport? The two articles are of course of distinct scope; each broader than the other as to numerous criteria. I don't see a certification of things being 'unusual' in that other article to any greater degree than this one has been proved to not keep to the standard of being 'titillating' or 'vulgar' or 'flippant'. There is no certifying body as to 'unusual', nor is there as to these other things. SAMBLAman (talk) 07:54, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Because it sounds like the corny evil laugh Jack Chick’s bad guys have, I guess…? Dronebogus (talk) 12:19, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Speedy delete as stealth vandalism from a user who was blocked for disruptive editing. insane case of WP:OR, I can’t believe this exists . This sounds like… a made-up work from the Team Fortress 2 universe, or something. Plus this is completely redundant in the face of list of place names considered unusual (a funny, but valid, article) and WP:unusual place names (which is not an article and is marked as humor) Dronebogus (talk) 12:10, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: based on this user’s edits, I can definitely believe this exists. Wikipedia has pages that you wouldn’t read in front of children or the easily offended, and there’s nothing wrong with finding humor in such pages. But deliberately trying to create pages of WP:OR vulgar humor in the mainspace is unprofessional in the extreme. Cite it properly, keep it in the WP:HUMOR area of the Wikipedia namespace, or don’t do it at all. Dronebogus (talk) 12:43, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
