Extreme pornography (edit \| talk \| history \| protect \| delete \| links \| watch \| logs \| views) This is about the term being used by the UK's Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 but is obviously a controversial topic with a number of arguably useful pornographic example links added 2009 swine flu pandemic (edit \| talk \| history \| protect \| delete \| links \| watch \| logs \| views) As a hot news topic this article can suffer from excessive links from dubious un-official sources Model_View_ViewModel (edit \| talk \| history \| protect \| delete \| links \| watch \| logs \| views) The Open source MVVM frameworks section contains links to several products that would fail notability as having no coverage in independent sources, e.g. Mugen MVVM Toolkit.

Online dating service → Online dating – WP:CONCISE as the article details both the method in general as well as the services. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 07:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This article talks about online dating in general, not the companies that provide the services that facilitate it. Should be moved according to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 〜Festucalex • talk • contribs 15:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article is primarily about online matchmaking rather than online dating. The dating service is online, but the dating itself is typically not online. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:59, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But that is the overwhelming common name for the concept. "Online matchmaking" (including quotes) only has ~5000 results on Google News compared to >300,000 for "Online dating". - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 23:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:COMMONNAME. As a side note, there's some weird duplication of scope between this article, Online dating application, and Mobile dating. Probably in need of some merging. Colin M (talk) 23:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- There is also Timeline of online dating services, which IMO would also be better if the 'services' was dropped from that title, as it is not exclusively about the services either, Comparison of online dating services on the other hand, makes sense as it is. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 03:01, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
