• Hello all, I'm the creator of the page in question and operator of the GdayPal website. I urge you to consider the GdayPal forums as a distinct and valuable entry into wikipedia as the largest open free gay forums to men in Australia. I'll concede the fact the website isn't well know out side of Australia but neither is OUTeverywhere.com a UK website similar to our own list on Wiki, and I feel both website deserve mentioning. I started the page in the hopes that our members would also contribute. The site is a valuable resource to all gay men living in Australia as it cover opinions and fact face gay men in a modern western society. Never the less I will happily take the page down if that is the consensuses of this forum. | 00:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gdaypal (talk • contribs) .
  • The fact that the site is unknown elsewhere in world is usually not a problem, as long as the local notability is somehow demonstrated. It's usually not difficult to fulfill the requirements of website notability criteria if, for example, the local media has covered the website to some extent. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

  • The website has appeared in the premier Australian gay publications SX National, Bent Mag and Sydney Star Observer consistently over the past 12 months. Is seen by 400,000 views every week on OutTV and SelectTV on QueerTV in Australia and Canada. But the real value of the discussions themselves are what stand out as unique and unadulterated critical opinion on Australian gay cultural issues. Researchers searching wikipedia, looking to understanding Australian gay culture, would find GdayPal an essential social knowledge resource. These are the largest community gay forums available to men in Australia, I urge you to seriously consider keeping this list.| 10:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC) --Gdaypal 10:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gdaypal
