[edit] Wikipedia:Sexual harassment

While I'm all for policy proposals, this just isn't proposing much - it's merely the statement that "Users who have been harassed should receive condolences and users who sexually harass other users should be banned.". No evidence, no discussion, no voting. Plus it's already redundant with WP:NPA. Radiant_>|< 16:58, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Agree with above, maybe send it to wikipedia:village pump (proposals). Overall Delete.Howabout1 Talk to me! 17:01, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

  • I see no evidence of there being a problem with sexual harassment on Wikipedia. Perhaps if there were evidence of it, I might feel differently. Delete. Kelly Martin 17:14, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I've heard nothing about any increasing problem with sexual harassment on WP. Even if it were, it would be covered under various other policies anyway, no need to create a new one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:53, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Would voting "oppose" for User:Kelly Martin's request for adminship because she's female be considered sexual harrassment, or just bigotry? RickK 20:47, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Most likely a joke proposal. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:38, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per above arguments. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 19:18, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I just expanded the article some, and also; this sounds like a good policy. Will anybody concur with me now? --SuperDude 19:10, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No personal attacks already cover this issue from a policy perspective. --Allen3 talk 20:20, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Vandalism in the form of sexual harassment appears to being happening with increasing frequency on Wikipedia and a policy is badly needed." I don't believe the former and I'm not convinced of the latter, but aside from that: what Radiant and Allen3 said. No useful content beyond what we have already. "Users who have been harassed should receive condolences"? Come on. JRM · Talk 21:23, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
  • Delete article while well intentioned is somewhat pointless and doesn't seem really needed. Jtkiefer 23:38, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. It seems to be a solution in search of a problem. Any true harrassment around here is already adequately covered by existing policy, and adding a specific one for sexual harrassment would only encourage the warriors of political correctness or radical feminism to make trouble in their attempts to force everybody into their brand of orthodoxy. *Dan* 19:49, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
