Neologism already covered at List of sex positions and Group sex. Stand-alone article is unnecessary duplication, and I'd further argue that the title is not the most common name for the act. Exploding Boy (talk) 06:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

• Delete. This is a wonderful blog piece and inspiring in its novel synthesis but we are lacking actual encyclopedic content that supports a stand alone article. Absent a stubbifying process that removes all the original research and replaces it with reliable sourcing to demonstrate the need for a stand alone article I think this has to be deleted. A protected redirect to group sex may encourage the creator to build a reliably sourced and non-original research version in their userspace instead. -- Banjeboi 07:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
• Delete This type of activity is already covered in group sex in the "daisy chain" section, which is a much more common name for this. Not enough to write to merit a separate article on the subject, and if there were, it should not be under a neologistic title. Every few years teenagers think they have invented some clever sex act, without understanding that they already exist under established names; these don't all need separate articles. Protected redirect would be fine too, if anyone finds a reliable source showing the term has any popularity.YobMod 07:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
• Merge or redirect as the case may be... neologism. --Merovingian (T, C, L) 07:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
• Redirect to group sex, where the act is mentioned and clarified. Well-written article, but weak topic. McMarcoP (talk) 12:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
• Delete The topic is covered elsewhere, and is not sufficiently Notable to warrant its own article, anyway. Plus, I have never heard this term before in my life (and suffice it to say I have not lived a sheltered one). I've heard of "pulling a train" on probably hundreds of occasions, but "trainfuck?" I don't think people really say that. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 14:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
• Delete with no redirect. Beat me to the AfD. I can't find a single reliable source that even uses "trainfuck"; the only hit for "train fuck" in this context seems to be Gay-2-zee: a dictionary of sex, subtext, and the sublime. DF Reuter - 2006 - St. Martin's Griffin. The author of the article was using far too much original research and synthesis. It might be a slang phrase using in porn or the gay scene, but it's not a notable one. Fences&Windows 16:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

• You should have seen the article before I cut it down by about half. Exploding Boy (talk) 16:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I did. The less said about that the better. Fences&Windows 19:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

• Note: the article's creator has effectively supported deletion by redirecting the article to List of sex positions (the redirect was undone while this AFD is open, however). Exploding Boy (talk) 06:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
