  • I probably don't need to say anything else about this? — I'm starting to be inclined to regard it as a speedy deletion candidate, actually. — Timwi 21:53, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • On what grounds? Martin 23:03, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Trolling attempts get inflationary currently. andy 21:51, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not an appropriate use of Wikipedia. Angela. 22:41, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete if Wikichess games are also deleted. Otherwise, keep. My preference would be deletion of both. The reason is that wikichess, while essentially harmless, can be used - and was used in this case - to justify similar recreational activity, and there is no good reason to give preferential treatment to one while disallowing the other. I don't want to pat myself on the back too much, but that's why I opposed wikichess when it started many months ago. Before you argue that this page is offensive, we have no strict policy against offensive user pages (cf. User:Paektu). --Eloquence* 22:43, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Keep Wikichess games. Evercat 22:45, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - harmless. Secretlondon 22:47, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • It isn't fair to keep WikiChess and delete WikiSex. If you find it offensive, Paektu's page should be deleted too. Please be consistent with your policies and don't discriminate against newcomers! I am sexy 22:59, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Harmless. Funny. Nobody's actually having WikiSex - we're just chatting. Martin 23:01, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a chatroom. Maximus Rex 23:09, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • I think the greatest insight a Wikipedian could have is the understanding that the wiki isn't really something serious. We create articles but we also have fun, and this is what makes Wikipedia so different. We aren't paid employees of some big company who must work hard 8 hours a day without joking or socializing. We are amateur writers who came here to make friends, have fun, socialize and feel the warm feeling one has after publishing a new article. Sadly some people have lost their sense of humor. Haven't you thought that a WikiSex page would attract more contributors, too? :-) I am sexy 23:12, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete this and chess, or neither. I agree with Eloquence. --257.47b.9½.-19 23:14, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
