How has this "rare" body modification technique achieved encyclopedic notability? --GRider\talk 23:57, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- GRider, please tell me what you think should happen to Scalpelling. It is your responsiblity as nominator to clearly tell your fellow Wikipedians what you think should happen as a result of the nomination. —Markaci 2005-03-15 T 00:05 Z
- Keep, google results appear to indicate this is a real and reasonably well-known technique. Kappa 01:00, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a real phenomenon that is known in the piercing community. DaveTheRed 02:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 06:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, it never ceases to amaze me how some people consider themselves the gatekeepers of human knowledge -- as Markaci says, the nominator has a clear responsibility to present an alternative. Earpol 11:58, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, it happens, it's a form of body modification, it's of interest to enough of us to have an article Kierano 17 Mar 2005
- The only possible reason I can see for the proposal, following the Deletion Policy, is that it is too small a part of Body modification to warrant its own article. The deletion policy page clearly states that in this case, the page should be assimilated into the parent article, and a redirect put in its place. As far as I can see, this page should not have even been put up for deletion. Kierano 17 Mar 2005
- Bizarre? Yes. Disgusting? Quite possibly. Not notable? *sigh* No. Keep. Edeans 19:58, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
