thread_title: Articles for Deletion debate

message: Other slang terms for the perinieum include; SPOSBAG, Grundel, Choad, The Space Between & Fleshy Fun Bridge.
Or not:  they googled (for me) between nothing at all and a couple of hundred.  Unfortunately there is something about any article related to the areas normally covered by underwear which brings out the adolescent in everybody - especially adolescents.  No, this is not getting at Cenestrad, who was just tidying the cruft into one place.  The sniggering community will always edit articles like this for the same reason they always look up rude words first in every dictionary.  Luckily the ones here all have Internet access, so as soon as they learn to evade AOLs parental controls they can look at some real smut and leave the 'edia alone... - Just zis  Guy, you know?

thread_title:  Other terms 

message: The reason you didnbt get anything when you googled grundel, is because it is spelled grundle and the grundle was used to describe that part of your body before taint was, no ones wrong, it all depends on where you live to what it is called, some people dont know what a taint or a grundle is, but they know what the Gooch, sometimes spelled  Guiche or Guch and Durf. Taint, Grundle, Gooch, and Durf are all the same thing describing the same part of your body depending on where you are from. Personally, I have lived all over on 5 different continents, so I think (personally once again) the other three words used for it, should be added to the article. The devils trail can also be known, but you might get a whif of a smelly turtle tank.

thread_title:  Slangs That Should Be Added To the Article 

message: I am relatively certain that the 'taint the balls but taint the asshole' reference first appears in a Tom Robbins novel. I'm somewhat less certain that that novel is Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. 24.62.27.66 20:16, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins 

message: There is more written here about the "taint" than there is about the perineum to which it refers.  Also, The "Sexual Fetish" section really doesn't belong in this article.71.244.163.156 23:40, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Too Much

message: I have removed the image per general consensus at other similar pages. With that particular photo, it seemed like something of a shock site.  youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The image 

message: I believe the http://savethetaint.org site should certainly be linked in here since it is the only site which is on Wikipedia that deals directly with the Taint.  It is a comedy site first and foremost which, instead of selling advertisements, sells 6 products to keep up with costs.  I have added the mention of the site back to the article but removed the link for now, since I certainly believe the site deserves a mention at least. -- Bigmatt19 16:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree, as it seems to be a rather nn site, but I digress and defer to the judgement of my peers.  youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 16:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Popular Culture

message: The whole article is not very professional. From the folk etymology ("It Ain't...") at the top to the "Popular Culture" section at the bottom that is larger than the rest of the article, it doesn't look that great to me. I'd like to just blank the page and replace it with only a very small definition page (Though really I don't even think this is notable enough to deserve even that). But I won't, because it appears people are invested in the current content. Howdoesthiswo 17:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I've added this to the top instead of the bottom so hopefully we can come up with a newer consensus on this issue as soon as possible I stand corrected. Apparently youngamerican wasn't fond of that arrangement. 
This page survived an AfD over a year ago by the very skin of it's teeth (just enough opposition to avoid a solid consensus to delete). At the time, it possessed zero references, an exceptionally-tenuous claim to notability, and a tone that smacked of a poopy jokes forum for 11-year-olds. 
A full year later and nothing has changed. It's still entirely without reliable references or any real assertion of notability beyond "a bunch of stand-up comics use it". I've purged most of the truly non-notable nonsense from the article and cleaned up the sentence structure and tone as best I could, but this is really an embarrassment. By all rights, this article doesn't deserve to exist in it's present form. This isn't me being a prude; WP:RS isn't optional, folks. Articles on neologisms are held to a higher standard because of the very real risk of turning the encyclopedia into Urban Dictionary. I don't think anyone wants that.
I'm recommending a merge with perineum where it can have an appropriate-length section illustrating the rich and clever history of the term "taint" with perhaps the top two or three most notable examples being kept. I would also not object to a redirect to the Wiktionary entry or another AfD. Thoughts? Bullzeye  (Ring for Service) 04:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it ts worth, not only is it the standard format for all new sections to go to the bottom, it is much easier to find them so that more fols can help form the new consensus.  youngamerican (wtf?) 05:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How would the merge be handled? Would it still refences the phrase?  y'american (wtf?) 05:37, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Of course. Otherwise it would be a straight redirect. I'm not averse to that either, mind you, but I'm hoping for a compromise we can reach consensus on. There's no reason for an article to be left like this. Bullzeye  (Ring for Service) 07:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
