Pedophile press

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sneaky pedophilia advocacy dressed up to look encyclopedic. This topic needs WP:TNT and does not meet WP:GNG.

It has 71.3% authorship by, and was started by, a user who mainly or only edited pedophilia articles and is now banned.

"Pedophile press" is not distinct from child pornography or pedophile advocacy. Google bears out that the topic is not notable. The list here has no encyclopedic value. It probably was created to promote these publications. Three links to pedophile groups still remain in the references, to Ipce, BoyWiki, and Alice Lovers.

Some material was recently removed. A careful reading of this material shows even more the pedophile advocacy motivation behind this article. It contained 3 more links to Ipce and 2 to another pedophile advocacy site called "exitinterview.biz", along with 2 others that looked suspicious but were dead links. It contained lines such as "Experts on pedophilia as Frits Bernard and Edward Brongersma..." (these men were actually pedophile activists) and "In 1987 was launched in Netherland Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia, a scholarly journal which took a positive scholarly approach towards the study of pedophilia.[13] From the beginning, Paidika differentiated from other pedophilia-related publications. It had a professional layout and an impressive editorial board which reviewed the submissions to the journal. During its nine years of publication, Paidika managed to remain faithful to Bullough's (1990, 320) observation and publish a great number of well researched scholarly articles." (Did you catch how scholarly it was?)

Thanks to Uncle G for pointing this out to me. A related AfD is here. -Crossroads- (talk) 15:09, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree with the nominator's reasoning. Also the creator of this and the other article mentioned was blocked in 2014, no reason listed anywhere.  All of their edits seem to be related to this topic.   D r e a m Focus  15:39, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as recreation of previously-deleted material, per the observation at the related AfD. And even if it weren't, the nomination makes a good case for deletion anyway. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 18:58, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and maybe we can get an admin willing to WP:SNOW close this. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 19:07, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nom and previous responders. Putting aside the controversial topic (which by the way Wikipedia is not censored), it is a full list of non notable publications. Ajf773 (talk) 19:09, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * My rationale, as at the other discussion, is that these specific edit histories plagiarising word-for-word promotional content from "BoyWiki" are entirely undesirable, and should be deleted. Uncle G (talk) 23:51, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete it is unclear that most of these publications are anywhere near notable enough to merit inclusion in any way.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:21, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, none of the entries are notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 07:00, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
