Neologism about a supposed crossover of Pedophilia and Sadism. Clearly made up by the article creator. Was deleted by prod once then re-created by the author, prodded again and I deleted but restored as a contested prod :(. A handful of German sources refer to "Pädosadismus" but I don't think this is enough to warrant keeping this page full of lurid original research. Fences&Windows 22:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy redirect to Pedophilia which adequately covers the medical and criminologicla aspects of the subject. The Land (talk) 22:21, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd consider supporting that suggestions it others think it might be a plausible search term. Fences&Windows 18:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • • Evidently it's not a neologism - see here, for instance. The Land (talk) 19:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Is that "Medical Dictionary" WP:RS? Even the cover wording seems a little odd. --Closeapple (talk) 06:20, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Article does not meet general notability criteria.--יום יפה (talk) 14:56, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - As non-notable neologism. Carrite (talk) 15:18, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Unreadable by any standard and unsalvageable. Unnecessary as subject is covered adequately in Pedophilia. --Seduisant (talk) 00:45, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Totally non notable neologism - the only source that appears in Google is a single dictionary definition, but that's it. Evidently OR by the creator. OSborn ^arf_contribs. 02:49, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: The term itself appears to fail under WP:NEO. Higher Google hits are casual use in informal language that could have been invented at the time. Lower Google hits are pure linkspam, possibly even generated from the Wikipedia article title. Pseudo-psychological word mashups happen all the time on the Internet; if this were the recognized term for a (probably) recognized concept, it would have readily-available journal research already. That being said, I don't know what word there is sadistic child molestation, or if there is even such a word. I'm sure criminologists and psychiatrists must have done some kind of research about it by now; maybe it's just described by a phrase rather than having a specific fixed name. --Closeapple (talk) 06:20, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - This article should be summed up neutrally in a few sentences and backed by solid sources in a parent article. Jnast1 (talk) 18:58, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Clearly a neologism for child abuse.--Whiteguru (talk) 10:45, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. -- Joaquin008 ^(talk) 10:56, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - straight up delete.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:35, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
