Deletion of Goatse.cx

Comment: Sorry, but  is rather an important concept. If there were reliable sources for this, I'd be willing to change my mind, but it really can't be more than a stub at best, if using Snopes.com as a reference. I would recommend deleting this, redirecting it to shock site, and pare that entry down so that it includes only the sourced material

Comment: The topic is notable but disgusting. I am pleased not to have seen the picture. The poor state of the article is not itself a reason for deletion. I agree the content should be restricted to verifiable information. The problem of linkfarms cluttering wikipedia should be addressed elsewhere. I am almost sure the article satisfies 3. of  and would be suprised if it does not satisfy 1. Goatse is one of the most famous shocksites, which is an encyclopedic subject, even though it is quite disgusting

Comment: a lot of people are claiming "notability" but could someone point me to which part of , or other notability criteria, that it satisfies.  I have also removed a whole bunch of those links (still too much left, I just can't be bothered spending more time on it right now
