I'm not understanding this point -- why then do we have articles on things such as [[Pipe organ]] or even people such as [[Donald Knuth]] -- both of these can be easily looked up online, and they take up some much more disk space than [[Fleshlight]]
I think the answer to this question is to check the availability of recorded media celebrating skilled operators of the pipe organ versus the fleshlight. Organists are notable, wankers are not.
How many celebrated skilled operators of [[Donald Knuth]] are there? This is kind of a weird criteria for establishing "notability", I don't think it's widely applicable.
Personally, I have no idea whether Fleshlight is notable or not without doing further research I probably don't care to perform. But that's what talk page debates, AfD, RfC and such are for. We have ways of reaching community consensus on such things.
