Male genital cutting

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I am unable to find any reliable sources for the currency of this term. It is used in a few blogs and such by those opposed to infant circumcision, but most of the references either track back here or are the result of hyphenation of the term "fe[-]male genital cutting", which is more widely discussed. I could not find a reliable source for this term being used for penectomy. The one paper I could find that mentions the term in passing, http://www.cirp.org/library/anthropology/bell1/, essentially does not define it. Guy (Help!) 20:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete POV neologism. What's next the pro-circumcision folks creating a Male genital clean-up article to push their POV. Carlossuarez46 02:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete but not as POV. It's in essence just a subcategory and provides no encyclopedic information whatever.DGG 04:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
