 * The result of the discussion was: delete. —  ξ xplicit  00:58, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting adult entertainment


 * Nominator's rationale: Irredeemably POV. Pinball is "geared towards adults or an older age group"? Do we have a source for that? How about Masterpiece Theatre, 60 Minutes, striptease, etc.? By and large, sources will not state that something is geared toward adults and "an older age group" is hopelessly vague. Sum mer PhD v2.0 20:51, 5 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete, for reasons stated above. Trivialist (talk) 22:18, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, we have an article Adult animation that describes an "adultness" scope that may well fit with this category. The description is very broad though. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * DElete -- I thought this was a euphemism for pornography. Whatever may be intended, it is much to vague to make a useful category.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:55, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete serves no useful purpose because it cannot be objectively defined. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:49, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete If adult entertainment is everything that is enjoyed by adults, it could probably include everything from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and How I Met Your Mother to every single item in the Category:Horror fiction category. Where do we draw the line? Dimadick (talk) 23:02, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. While the nominator is technically correct about what the category could theoretically contain, in actual practice (and in what's actually been filed here) this term is normally a euphemism for pornography rather than a catch-all term for all possible entertainment options. But if we stick to the more restrictive sense then we already have to cover that, while repurposing it in the more general sense wouldn't be useful for exactly the reasons the nominator describes.

 * Delete We already have pornography, which this is usually used as a synonym for.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:56, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
