[edit] Pedophilia
Pedophilia → Child protection - previously discussed at Talk:Pedophilia#Proposed_rename. The move would focus the policy better, and match en:WP:Child protection. Rd232 (talk) 18:09, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Support on the grounds of naming consistency across projects (w:wp:Child protection, commons:com:Child protection), while noting the policy is clearly a response to concerns re pedophilia, rather than the full scope of the meaning of "w:child protection" (as I mentioned at: Commons:Commons talk:Child protection#The_descriptor "child protection") -- Proofreader77 (talk) 18:24, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Oppose The page in question only exists because of statements made by the Executive Director of the WMF regarding "pedophiles", not "child protection". The discussion here on META was recently re-ignited when an admin on Commons blocked a user who had apparently been previously incarcerated for the distribution of child pornography and ran his own porn site to which he invited Commons users. The users who have supported this rename in the talk page discussion here are, for the most part, the very same users who are opposed to a ban on self-identified pedophiles. Most of them have come here from Commons, following a long and disruptive public discussion of the case previously mentioned. One of the most vocal opponents to this policy here is User:Dcoetzee, who un-blocked the user on Commons. The attempt to rename the page is nothing less than an attempt to divert attention from the real reason that the policy exists. Diluting a short, clear statement -- "editors who attempt to use Wikimedia projects to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships, or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will be indefinitely blocked." -- will only prolong discussion on this subject and prevent the policy from ever leaving "draft" stage. While a true "child protection" page may be useful, it would more appropriately take the form of guidelines and could easily reference Pedophilia. The only reason that the page on the English-language Wikipedia is called "Child Protection" is because the page title was already in use by a Wiki-project.
