Sharing_a_bed

Doesn't contain any meaningful information and is very poorly organized and composed. Maybe redirect to co-sleeping? Asarkees 02:57, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete. This is really an effort to combine several tertiarily related topics (which already have articles) into a single article. The only common thread is that they have to do with more than one person and a bed. I don't think a redirect to co-sleeping would be quite right, as "sharing a bed" has often been a euphamism for sex. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:33, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Delete and/or Merge with co-sleeping as another section of it. The perception of two people of different gender in one bed having sex is so omnipresent, that it could be included there. The judical explanations and the bond to M. Jackson's case is ceratinly a relevant piece of information. Oneliner 09:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: I'm afraid that I can't quite agree, although I would like to, that there is a salvage here. My biggest problem is the nebulousness of the name, which requires an ill-jointed discussion. There are nuggets here and there that ought to be preserved, but these aren't very substantial. Until the 1960's, sharing a bed would have been the fate of most children, so any scandalousness is either because of the euphemism or because of our reactions to the pedophilia scares of the 1980's.

• Merge with co-sleeping. Don't really mind which article title the merged article is at. Morwen - Talk 13:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Comment — This page was split off from co-sleeping as a compromise solution to a disagreement over whether Michael Jackson was relevant to co-sleeping. See Talk:Co-sleeping for details. Bovlb 04:37, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
• Merge back. The co-sleeping article should be able to deal with its own controversies rather than forking. Radiant_>|< 09:22, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
