Suspension cuffs

No references and tagged as such without improvement for a year. This article belongs in a bondage dictionary or a how-to guide and Wikipedia is neither. WJBscribe (talk) 01:58, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom's concerns. Sadly though since Wiki already has articles on BDSM, Bondage cuffs, Fetters, Handcuffs, Testicle cuffs, and Thumbcuffs... this will probably survive. Why not merge them all in one place like Eroticism or Kink?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable without significant coverage. WP is not a dictionary. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge This may be too specialised for an article of its own. But there will be sources for Verifiable content. A quick look seems to show that unlike some other devices, they are not discussed on their own. But I would not  merge everything on the general subject of alternative sexuality or even BDSM into one article. DGG (talk) 02:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Since I can't figure out where else to state this...I am not a computer geek and usually have better things to do with my universe. Why is WIKIPEDIA DELETING topics such as this one that were being expanded upon in an effort to make them more encyclopedic? I added about 4 paragraphs in October, because this topic needed to be discussed separately from just Bondage cuffs, so that anyone querying wikipedia could learn about the different types that existed and their purpose. I only have a small amount of time to work on this occasionally and would have liked if giving the opportunity to try adding some people and time references to what I had added, but the article is all gone. There was some indication in the above discussion that there was going to be a merge with another article, but I saw no additional information there. And I have seen several other articles that just basically disappeared. Are you an inclusive encyclopedia or not, if not then you are becoming useless as a reference source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.55.9 (talk) 02:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
