Misleading claim to gusiness world record (debunked
here). No apparent overage outside titilating coverage in tabloid magazines (of various flavours) and a huffington post article debunking them. No native-language article to mine references from.

Delete Neither source is reliable as both repeat the Guiness falsehood and the second source publishes accurate information only sporadically, placing a higher priority on cheap sensationalism. The claim to notability is a hoax.

Weak keep. Found a few references, wondering if Wikipedia has a notability guide for freak skills. Not the kind of thing I'd like to see in Wikipedia but probably meets
WP:GNG, unfortunately. About the references: agree they're shaky; I wonder how Guinness, if it ever set up vaginal weightlifting as a category, could check such a thing? A prelifting exam? While the Guinness claim is most likely dubious, out-hoaxed by Ron Dicker, it is the kind of thing that Guinness is likely to cover in future; it is a Guinnessable area. While it is a freak-show circus-act type of thing, it relates to a broader subject, namely, kegel exercises => stronger vaginal walls => possibly greater sexual pleasure, so it is bound to be in the (tabloid) media.--

No matter what that reference says (and I'll admit to not speaking Russian), eight lines of text is not in depth coverage.

I'll lose no sleep if this article is deleted, nor
dicker or bargain about the
Dicker contention in the Huffington Post, or probe into the extent of the depth coverage.--

Comment A note left on my talk page said that she holds Guinness record 58300381. I visited the Guinness World Record website, and searched with that number, then with her name and then with the word "vagina". All three of my searches came up empty, so I can only conclude that there is no such Guinness World Record. So, we have several sources repeating what seems to be a falsehood. How can those be called reliable sources?

I heartily expect
reliable publications such as The Sun, whose reputation ranks right up there with The Enquirer and Fox News for veracity and accuracy, to confirm these claims directly by hiring a reputable pollster, preferably an adult male of jockey-weight or less (31 pounds), to verify whether liftoff could be achieved and suspension achieved, with cameras going, as well as hiring a board-certified
gynecologist to ensure there were no bodily abnormalities causing an
unfair advantage.--

Delete I don't see the coverage in reliable sources necessary to meet GNG.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - Wikipedia is not the Guinness Book of World Records. BLP-1E is the formal rationale for deletion.
