[edit] Singapore gay theatre

Relisting for deletion after no consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Singapore public gay parties.

Delete as unverifiable original research and indiscriminate. From WP:NOT: "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information: Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics...". Also "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought: Critical reviews...Opinions on current affairs...". I'm not questioning the verifiability of the specific plays; if they're notable they should have their own articles. However, loosely associating them in this fashion is original research and the article is little more than one contributor's review of gay theatre in Singapore. -- Krash (Talk) 15:27, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, Speedy in fact, no reason for relisting immediately. There was no consensus for deletion. I hope the nominator is not nominating blindly, there is actually a distinct gay genre in Singapore theatre scene. The article needs cleanup though. --Vsion 15:37, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Vsion. --Terence Ong 15:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Rather than red herring, I would hope to have the concerns in the nomination addressed. I won't withdraw the nomination based on derision, but would certainly consider doing so if shown some evidence that the article is better than just one editor's soapbox. -- Krash (Talk) 17:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep; needs cleanup, but AfD not a substitute for cleanup and encyclopedic tags (which, fortunately, someone put on the article). Georgewilliamherbert 08:18, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is verifiable, and mostly not indiscriminate. It is about LGBT Singapore as portrayed in theatre, theatres in Singapore that produce plays on LGBT issues, and the history of portrayal or censorship of LGBT issues in theatre in Singapore. It is a useful compilation of interesting information that could not readily be found otherwise. No need for a second AFD in two weeks. Wuzzy 15:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
