  • Hello, I added this entry, since I consider myself an "asiaphile", I can change the entrance tomorrow, if you so want. I do however think this term should be included in wikipedia, since i personally know several asiaphiles, including myself. Sexual "deviations" should not be included from this online encyclopedia, so just delete any references to my own person and keep the entry. Cheers,

"Asia"Phil ;)

  • BTW, just check on google if you think "asiaphilia" does not exist, type in asiaphile. Regards. Phil (added to VfD page by User:217.80.4.70)
  • Delete, only usable parts are dictionary definition material. Gazpacho 10:04, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • (Moving this comment here from accidental posting in a separate deletion debate [1]) OK, then keep the dictionary type, like: "exclusive Attraction to Asian females by non-Asian male" or something like that User:217.80.4.70
  • Delete. I can imagine an encyclopedic article about non-Asians who find Asians attractive. But there's nothing in here that could become part of such an article. --Szyslak 11:43, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: There is already a name for this, but this isn't it. I can't recall it now, but it's not "Asiaphile." In fact, folks in the west have fetishized Asian women for a very, very long time. In the 18th c., Japanese women were sought. Look at Gilbert & Sullivan. The subservient china doll was a heady image in the west. This is aside from the physical. On the sexual/physical side, there is a strong current of caricature in pornographic literature going back as far. Geogre 15:05, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Merge/redirect anything salvagable into Asian fetish, I think. Alphax (talk) 05:08, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect without merge to Asian fetish. Gazpacho 23:04, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • I note that Asian fetish is wrongly named (preference for Asians is not a fetish), so perhaps Asiaphile should be deleted and then Asian fetish moved there. Gdr 13:04, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)
    • It's not a paraphilia either, so the -phile suffix isn't appropriate. The term "Asian fetish" is probably the most common term for this preference. -Sean Curtin 06:22, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
    • It's not wrongly named, it's wrongly defined. Any sexual preference can become a fetish when it is necessary for sexual gratification. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 00:04, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
