If we must keep an article such as this in an encyclopedia which is specifically designed for children and language challenged persons, then it must be balanced adding the risks and dangers to such a procedure. I have added a section as to the risks for that purpose but I would hope that it be re-considered for deletion. Certainly, with the specific group of people we wish to attract, their are specific responsibilities. Unlike English Wikipedia which deals with adults, Simple Wikipedia focuses its attention on young minds which are still forming, especially in the areas of what is right and what is wrong; what is safe and what is potentially dangerous.

Censorship is one issue but obscenity is not always protected under U.S. law. As the United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart stated to describe his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964), "I know it when I see it".

In many parts of the world, religion has lost most of its power to set moral standards. As the practice of fisting carries certain health risks, it is a good idea to have an article about the practice, so that we can inform those that may indulge in this practice. In other words: no, we cannot ban an article based on the fact that certain people may consider the practice obscene (or morally wrong). Note that we also have an article on child pornography, or child grooming where similar concerns may apply. --Eptalon (talk) 11:18, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Our audience is not all "young minds." We target those learning English as well. So adults could be reading this, too. We have no "responsibility" to teach what is right/wrong and safe/dangerous. Only (talk) 11:47, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
