There's plenty of google hits for this, but they're mostly blogs and YouTube videos. The article itself seems like a mix of neologism and how-to essay. Been tagged for reference improvement for three years. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:50, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I think notability is debatable, but there is some coverage that might qualify as reliable sources[1][2][3][4][5][6]. But I wonder about merging to plaster cast - I don't think this is really more notable than penis casts or casts of other body parts, and the main article could be expanded to be more useful rather than having a lot of little articles.

• Keep - Maybe not the most talked about topic over dinner, but it does carry a lot of weight. I simply went to Google books and you can see from this link [7] that it is talked about in numerous books. --TTTommy111 (talk) 00:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Those links above for 'news', 'books', and 'newspapers' have oodles of references that could be used to source and expand this article. This is an encyclopedic topic that easily meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. There seems to be enough material out there to warrant a stand-alone article, and this is much, much more notable than "penis casts". gobonobo ^{+ c} 03:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
