Hi,

I've just stumbled across https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Girls+Plugin . Apart from the fact that it's objectifying women it's also reinforcing the oh-so-funny "beauty equals good" norm. It adds no value to Jenkins and does nothing but alienate people. 

I'm merely a user of Jenkins and have no idea what the correct process for this is, but I'd like to propose the removal of the plugin from the wiki and the github group. If anyone cares enough for it, it can live on in someone's private github.

Sincerely,
Marek Ventur

Hi,

Even if its been written by a girl. 
 
   It can upset people.

Hi,

it's been a month and no one objected. What's the right way to go ahead and remove the plugin? Who's in charge of the repositories?

Sincerely,
Marek Ventur

I think it's just a case of editing the wiki so that the plugin is tagged deprecated

We could create a label "plugin-funny" (or something like that) and hide its plugins by default.
IMHO, it's more relevant to the initial request.

But it's not funny. I've added the "plugin-deprecated" tag on the wiki,
so it should stop appearing in the Jenkins update centre soon.
