The result of the debate was KEEP, and I find it strange this was ever AfD'd in the first place. &mdash; J I P | Talk 18:56, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Wanker
Not encyclopaedic (should be in Wiktionary) Just zis Guy, you know? 20:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep there is far more information than would be appropriate for wiktionary. chowells 20:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Please keep this excellent comprehensive definition in here.... it is NOT offensive in any way.


 * Not arguing that it's offensive or insufficient, just that it is a dicdef. It's also a magnet for vandalism... -Just zis Guy, you know? 21:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * George W. Bush is a magnet for vandalism too. Punkmorten 21:40, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey, that one's a dick def :o) - Just zis Guy, you know? 09:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Yes it is somewhat of a dicdef but whether we like it or not its a widespread thing.... Ryan Norton T 21:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. More than a dicdef. Punkmorten 21:40, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is more than a dicdef as Punkmorten said. I personally volunteer to watch for vandals and do reverts to save the integrity of this encyclopedic article, if being a "magnet for vandalism" is your concern. George W. Bush, Harriet Miers, abortion and nigger are all "magnets for vandalism" too. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:30, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't see how this is any more than a dicdef. It seems by keeping this article you're promoting inconsistency in the relationship between 'pedia and 'tionary entries.  freshgavin TALK  05:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not enough room in a dic entry to fit all this info. -Andrew 06:07, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Teh Keep. &mdash;  F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( TALK )  09:18, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is already distinctly more than a dicdef. A bit of copyediting will be able to make it encyclopedic enough. --BorgQueen 14:12, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect with masturbation or list of sexual slang. 20:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looking at some of the stuff in Category:Sexual slang I see no reason for those to remain if this doesn't. Keresaspa 17:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Borderline keep. It certainly needs some work (for example, it almost never means "one who masturbates"! it's just an insult, not to be taken literally) but there is possibly enough to say about this word, and there are entries for similar obscene words. Flapdragon 00:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. ~⌈Markaci⌋ 2005-10-21 T 03:07:42 Z


 * Keep.

Just leave it! I had too much delight in finding it was there to support otherwise. ana
