As it seems to me
that it falls within the remit of the deletion
policy
(

I listed it.

Although the article has only been listed for only
two days, so far there
is a 2:1 majority vote for keep.
In my opinion this kind of article would render
Wikipedia difficult to
describe as "safe for classroom use"; also teachers
recommending it to
younger children for homework research would be put
at risk of censure
because of articles like this. Whatever those who
voted think Wikipedia
is, a classroom-safe reference work is clearly not
number one on the list.
This doesn't render Wikipedia content forever
inaccessible to classrooms,
however. This and other articles of its type are in
the category "Sex
moves". These could be filtered out easily during
production of a
classroom-safe copy of Wikipedia.
And people say the slippery slope argument is a
fallacy. Now that it appears that we've bowdlerized
the autofellatio article, it's fair game to go after
every other article with a sexual content?
