[edit] Sex limits

Not really encyclopedic. Information in article is provided in other articles. Captain panda 17:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy redirect to Age of consent Kesac 17:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete - Non-encyclopedic, border-line WP:HOWTO, provides no WP:RS. Most importantly, the claims made, if true anywhere, are not universally true. See, e.g., Statutory rape and Age of consent. --Evb-wiki 17:17, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete A hoax, and not a terribly good hoax. If you're 18, it's recommended that you not rely on this article when deciding whether to have sex with someone three years younger than you are. Mandsford 19:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Not only is it a totally unsourced opinion and starkly unencyclopedic, it is patently false and dangerously misleading. It also constitutes original research, with some really poor research involved; bordering on something made up heard in school the locker room one day. Age of consent laws vary from state to state and from nation to nation. Obviously the intent was to spell out an opinion on statutory rape and age of consent, but even redirecting to those does not necessarily make a lot of sense. Unless: Is "sex limits", a modern reference to barely legal underage sex, or a common expression among youths these days? If it is an expression that is in common use among teenagers, then I suppose we could redirect there as a courtesy for them. Frankly, I thought this article was going to be about - umm - quantity, and was bracing myself for some amazing and outrageous (or not) claims. Ah well, moving on.... --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 20:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unfortunately, wrong information isn't a criteria for CSD (G1 specifically excludes "fictional material... hoaxes of any sort"); but this is probably a good candidate for WP:SNOWBALL; and hopefully all the warning templates will ensure no impressionable young persons pay any heed to it before that happens... -- simxp (talk) 00:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
    • IMO, it is also a good candidate for an ignore-all-rules speedy. --Evb-wiki 01:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
      • Iffy if the CSD rules specifically exclude deleting for this reasons... But then, a snowball close of this AfD would have precisely the same effect as an IAR speedy, so I suppose it's a moot point. Incidentally, I've replaced the "The factual accuracy of this article is disputed" template with a custom one which says "This article is indisputably factually inaccurate" (plus a link to Age of Consent) to more accurately reflect the situation... ;-) -- simxp (talk) 01:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
        • Yeah. Actually, per the 1st sentence of WP:SNOWBALL, "The "snowball clause" is an interpretation of the Ignore all rules policy. . . ." Six? Or a half dozen? --Evb-wiki 01:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete (edit)This reminds me of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Half-Your-Age-Plus-Seven Rule, a recent AFD about a law of relationship ages that said the younger partner could be no younger than half the age of the older partner plus seven years. It got merged to Age disparity in sexual relationships. Curiously, if the older is 20, the youngest allowable age would be 17, per this rule. But if the older were 30, the younger would have to be 22, very different from this rule. Sounds like a half-remembered version of the other, or a new one made up in school one day.

  • Speedy Delete due to OR and falseness.--JForget 01:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Good for a laugh, though, for those looking for a BJAODN fix. --Groggy Dice T | C 01:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - File under category WP:BOLLOCKS--WebHamster 01:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete under WP:SNOW per WP:MADEUP. --Bfigura (talk) 03:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
