Girlfriends (adult)

Even if the awful title was fixed – Girlfriends (pornographic actor websites)? – all this article says is that adult film performers use reciprocal links. If someone wanted to write an article about pornographic actor websites, this would be notable to that, but this bit of information would presumably be obvious on looking at such websites.

• Comment: Not everyone who wants to find out about pornographic websites also wants to look at them. Kappa 08:58, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree! I'm saying I suspect it's too granular. And that the author of a hypothetical article on pornographic actor websites would have no trouble accessing this information. (Or, as Starblind puts it below...) Samaritan 14:56, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with main 'girlfriend' page, as alternate usage of the word. Radiant_* 09:16, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Girlfriend, concur with Radiant. Megan1967 10:30, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Make a "glossary" section in Internet pornography and merge it with that. This usage is not worth a mention on the main girlfriend page. Kappa 10:44, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Internet pornography. This has nothing to do with the general meaning of "girlfriend" but is a specific pornography term. — JIP | Talk 11:06, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I think it's a stretch for this to even warrant a merge. Since it's basically a dicdef (and unlikely to evolve past that), the glossary idea is the most sensible, but that's also a stretch since the term pretty much defines itself. I can't imagine anybody browsing a porn site and exclaiming "GIRLFRIENDS?! What on earth does THAT mean?! I'd better check Wikipedia!" Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:23, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • The term doesn't explain itself, because the word normally means "female friend" but in this case it means "someone who's part of a mutually promiting web ring, but is described as a friend to mislead visitors". Kappa 19:23, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Kappa has a point, but I'd still merge with Internet pornography, as advised by — JIP | Talk above. Also, the description is wrong - this is not subliminal, but superliminal. -- 8^D ^gab 22:12, 2005 Apr 13 (UTC)
• Delete, Concur w/ Starblind. Slac speak up! 22:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Samaritan. GeeZee 04:19, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
