Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hot wife

This appears to be little more than a dicdef. I recommend delete unless notability can be established. --Alan Au 01:03, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Did anyone happen to catch the contributor's name? Oy vey. - Lucky 6.9 01:05, 29 October 2005 (UTC)- I am trying to write articles on the sexual swinging lifestyle, which millions of people in the world subscribe to. If you believe this has no relevancy in Wikipedia then delete and I will stop contributing. --Swinger1
- Millions of people around the world subscribe to it; I don't think it's particularly prevalent in the U.S. Devotchka 01:13, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I have no idea whether it's a specialized "swinging" term but it certainly doesn't deserve its own entry. Throw it on the swinging page if anything. Devotchka 01:13, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- I thought the purpose of Wikipedia was to let people who are experts in particular areas contribute articles. To most people swinging might be just dancing but you can't ignore millions of people who are looking for specific sexual terms like "hot wife" and "slut wife". If anything, a person that knows the subject should be the judge and not a person who specializes in other areas or whose knowledge of the matter is slim --Swinger1
- You're more than welcome to write more on the "hot wife" article if there's more to it than a simple definition. Definitions don't get their own entries here; they go to the Wiktionary. You could consider putting it in as a section on the swinging page, specialized "swinging" terms and whatnot. Devotchka 01:21, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

- In that case, please accept my sincerest apology for assuming that you were trolling. That was the basis of my comment. Changing vote to abstain. - Lucky 6.9 01:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. I have no problem if you would like to roll this content into a larger article about Swinging or Swingers. However, I'm not sure that this particular term is worthy of a separate article. --Alan Au 01:22, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Swinging, same as Hotwife does. The AfD discussion for that page is at Talk:Hotwife. Pilatus 01:24, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

- Redirect would be good. Devotchka 01:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'll add my last comments on the matter. Ask yourself this question. If you were in charge of a public library, would you ban books that you think might not interest people? probably not. Swinging is a sizable subculture, to throw it all in one single page would be unfair to the whole concept of Wikipedia in the first place. This should be the perfect place to share specialized information not selective information --Swinger1
- I'd very quickly ban a book if the only thing in it was a paragraph-long definition for one term. Nobody is trying to ban your subculture. We're all aware that it's huge. These rules on definitions and everything apply to every subject and not just particularly controversial ones. Devotchka 01:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

- Redirect -- Pilatus presents a good argument. -- 69.232.187.204 02:07, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
