Uhh. Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. Contested prod. -- Merope ^Talk 05:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I have been looking for this article for some time. Read about it in a kama sutra book I bought on Amazon. Great— Preceding unsigned comment added by ImJustCurious (talk • contribs) (Note: New user with no previous edits)

Delete as nonsense. Erechtheus 06:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. You don't have verifiability, so we don't even know of Valensteinian culture exists. And why would they be connected to the kama sutra? ColourBurst 06:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Snowball delete as hoax. " "Blooming Iris" "Kama Sutra" " gets 110 hits, the majority of which are from FTD.com and have nothing to do with the purported subject. When removing references to FTD, seven hits remain, all of which are just copies of the FTD content. And the sockpuppetry above, to quote User:JzG, "hardens my heart."

Delete I see no good sources when I look. And isn't it the job of the authors of the article to provide such sources? --Maelnuneb (Talk) 15:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete zero google hits for "Valensteinian", and the sock puppets aren't even really bothering to hide themselves. -Markeer 16:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"himself" actually. Since all the socks make the same formatting mistakes, looks like it's just one. Fan-1967 17:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
