User:Herostratus wrote an essay on
hardcore pornography images in Wikipedia
a few weeks ago. The basic premise of the essay was,
"Articles about
hardcore pornography subjects should not contain images
which are,
themselves, hardcore pornography."
The essay underwent an MfD deletion discussion, at which it
was kept;
one of the Keep votes was Jimbo's.
Herostratus has resisted changes like these being made to
the essay:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Herostratus/Hardcore_images&…
As a result, the essay has now been deleted and userfied by
an admin,
without a new MfD having taken place.
Herostratus's userfied essay is here:

As the essay is about alleged systemic misogynism, it may
be of interest
to this list.
The ANI discussion that led to userfication is here:

For reference, the previous MfD discussion which resulted in "Keep" is
