The boner essay
Although this is nothing like the sniggeringly juvenile article I expected from its name, it's still not the slightest bit notable. Googling for "Michael Scherger", the central figure in the incident, turns up a hundred or so hits, most of which are for other people with the same name, plus a couple of one-time references on "weird news story" sites and "weird sex story" sites, all from 2002 and all of which quote the same newspaper story.

The vfd tag was added by someone else but this part wasn't finished. I'm neutral about this article. --LeeHunter 21:45, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's an interesting/weird story, but I don't think it deserves an article here. &#8212;Mar·ka·ci 22:24, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a pity the kid was punished so harshly because his story referenced the human penis, but I don't these sorts of local small-scale controversies are notable enough for an encyclopedia. &mdash; &#1051;&#1080;&#1074;&#1072;&#1081; | &#x263a; 02:03, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, un-encyclopaedic, possible original research. Megan1967 03:41, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. At least the guy who was suspended for wearing a Pepsi shirt on his school's "Coke Day" got some national attention. (Do we have an article on that? I have no idea where to look.) -R. fiend 04:17, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * As much as I hate to be a dick, I must vote delete. GRider\talk 22:08, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm neutral about this one. I think this article does and doesn't deserve to be on Wikipedia. Scott Gall 03:51, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
