List of names for the human penis
Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Wiktionary already has all of these. The result of the last VfD was 7 deletes, 4 merges (to various targets), 1 redirect, 1 keep, 1 transwiki. --Carnildo 04:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and goodness is that an unmaintainable list. Delete. - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary 04:23, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - I see no compelling argument for deletion. Seems like prudery to me. What a waste of VfD time.....Momenchance 16:22, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge: With Penis. Wikipedia has an entry on the word Fuck which lists the slang for sexual intercourse in so many languages. By that argument, this one should stay but be merged with which ever page on wikipedia represents the phallic symbol the best. Manik Raina 04:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As I said the last time, when that very suggestion was made, that's not a good idea. penis is about the actual thing.  This article is all about words. Uncle G 05:22:51, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * See also Talk:Penis/Archive 2, where having a list of slang terms in penis was rejected. Uncle G 12:17:44, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * the article on Penis is mostly medical/biological information about a medical/biological subject. the article on Fuck is mostly linguistic info on a linguistic subject. Nateji77 05:28, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Uncle G, That is a convincing argument. Can I Change my vote ? :-D Manik Raina 09:00, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a discussion, not a vote. If we can discuss and come to a consensus position, then the system is operating in the ideal manner. Uncle G 12:17:44, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * My rationale from last time remains unchanged. Delete. Uncle G 05:22:51, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * Delete. having it on wiktionary's enough. can always link to the list on wiktionary from the penis article. Nateji77 05:28, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The same solution as was used by cannabis (drug), in fact. See Talk:Cannabis (drug).  The main concern is whether the Wiktionary entry and the WikiSaurus entry have all of the words.  I haven't double-checked Carnildo. Uncle G 12:17:44, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * I've checked the WikiSaurus entry. It (now) has all of the slang words. Uncle G 17:28:08, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide, I believe is how WP:NOT Sec. 1.2.3 reads.  The Literate Engineer 06:03, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The few non-slang names are in the penis article, so as above this will be merely a slang guide. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:09, 2005 August 2 (UTC)
 * Trouser python not listed, so delete james gibbon  12:46, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This sort of information isn't a proper entry for an encyclopedia.  Since the information already exists at Wiktionary, a link from the main article would suffice.
 * Delete, though perhaps it's worth a sentence or two at penis to talk about the huge volume of slang words for genitalia? (Perhaps, too, it's time somebody started UrbanWiktionary.com ....) JDoorjam 16:39, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unmaintainable, prone to vandalism. Pavel Vozenilek 18:06, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Manik Raina. -- BRIAN 0918  18:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * merge with penis sure sounds painful Yuckfoo 18:22, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Despite the fact that on the talk page for penis it is clear that editors have not wanted a list of slang words in that article, and have removed them once already; and despite the fact that penis directs people to WikiSaurus:penis, the fully-fledged thesaurus entry for the word? Uncle G 00:03:37, 2005-08-03 (UTC)
 * Improve Put it in another article if you want or else keep it.  I'm voting against all the flood of deletes because I hate the anti-sex vandalism that goes on (this list said it was already nomitated--and maybe even kept).  Well they don't have the Japanese word at least in any romanized version, which is "chino."    Also I vote they keep only the terms that apply to English and move the foreign language ones to foreign language wikis.  DyslexicEditor 19:22, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Given that you're the first editor to even mention sex, it would appear that there's no "anti-sex" of any sort here. The nomination is on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, our official policy.  The fact that Wikipedia isn't a dictionary is even highlighted by your complaint that its article doesn't have a Japanese word.  If you go to the project that is a dictionary, and look at its penis article, you'll discover that it lists five Japanese translations of the word. This reinforces my point that I made in the first VFD discussion about useless duplication.  Translations and synonyms are (amongst other things) what Wiktionary does. Uncle G 00:03:37, 2005-08-03 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to body parts slang. We've already got a repository of this stuff, except this one attempts to cover multiple languages. (Note: I realise body parts slang has several entries in non-English languages, but that's an issue that should be discussed on its talk page.) I'm not going to suggest a merge because I simply don't see the use in having a list covering presumably every one of the world's 6000 languages; who's verifying the entires in Bahasa Melayu? If you want to find out how to say a naughty word in French, for instance, then why not look it up in an English-French dictionary? Flowerparty talk 23:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is dictionary (dicktionary?) material and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 20:18, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The link to WikiSaurus is good enough. --BaronLarf 01:41, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * 'Delete Just to make sure that the consensus is clearly to delete, and for all the reasons laid out above, Delete. JesseW 02:38, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I find the Wiktionary argument compelling. --brainpan
 * Delete dickdefs. JamesBurns 03:50, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
