Not a notable topic in it's own right, insurance is insurance regardless of which anatomical feature it is applied to. Thus I doubt this warrants its own article. Dolescum ( talk) 01:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep or merge to
Body part insurance
Health insurance. Upon a source review, the topic passes Wikipedia's notability standards. NorthAmerica 1000 03:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I agree the sources are notable, that's not my argument. I can also dig out numerous examples of famous people insuring other parts of their anatomy (
Holly Madison and her breasts for instance). Do we need an article for each piece of anatomy?

- Keep or merge per Northamerica1000; sources check. -- Brianhe ( talk) 03:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Weak Keep It does seem to meet GNG, which is not cause for a loud cheer. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 05:49, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Body part insurance isn't the same as health insurance, since the former is to protect you against loss of earnings not pay for medical bills (it's more like critical illness insurance plans or income protection insurance), so a merge would be wrong. There are certainly sources for body part insurance and a general article on the topic might be justified. [1] [2] [3] I would prefer a general article to one per body part, but for now I can't dispute this article's right to exist. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 10:58, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Weak keep like the rest of the wacky stuff insured by Lloyd's of London (who also insured Jimmy Durante's nose), this is really more a silly publicity stunt than an actual type of insurance. But Wikipedia documents silly things, as it should, and the sources are certainly there. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:49, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Meets notability requirements. Would prefer name change and re-focus to something like "body part insurance." Orser67 ( talk) 16:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

- Keep, significant amount of secondary source coverage. — Cirt ( talk) 17:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Rename/rewrite as Body part insurance, as per above. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 18:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep per Colapeninsula, Orser67, etc. Body part insurance isn't the same thing as health insurance, has an interesting history, and it's worthy of an article. For the moment, not too surprisingly given Wikipedia demographics, we're stuck with this sufficiently-sourced penis piece as synecdoche for the whole body. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 19:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
