[edit] About Gay Movies

Doesn't seem to have anything going on in regards to WP:WEB. Alexa rank of 347,398. Delete SubSeven 00:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable website, advertising. *drew 01:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The About Gay Movies site does meet criteria WP:WEB:
    • The website has been quoted on numerous other sites and in several printed media as an independent movie review site. This has resulted in the #1 position on Google which takes a lot more than just the right name for the site.
    • The website or content did win several well known and independent awards. See here. Lordmarchmain 05:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete It doesn't say much that the site gets Google hits for a phrase when that phrase is part of its domain name. It's not encyclopedic or notable. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 06:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Alexa ranking of 347,398, and if there are articles from print sources and verifiable web sources, they should be included on this page. I don't see how this could satisfy WP:WEB. -- H·G (words/works) 07:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The site is well known in the international gay scene for it's role for promoting non-porn gay themed movies without commercial interest. Superchubby 08:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
    • User's first edits are here. Ryūlóng 08:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - if these claims are true, it shouldn't be hard to provide verifiable sources in the article. Right now, no such sources are provided, and claims like this are so much dust in the wind if they can't be verified. If such sources can be provided, I'd be willing to change my vote. -- H·G (words/works) 07:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • There seems to be such a big opposition to the making of a page for the well known site for gay themed movies, About Gay Movies. Appearantly it is still a big taboo to write anything that is about a gay issue. Even in this day and age there is still a lot of homophobia. Especially in the USA. Unfortunatly this is inbedded in the culture of the USA. It is supposed to be the land of the free, but everytime it is proven not to be the case for gay people.
    • I do not want to have to deal with this kind of biggotry, therefore I have decided that the page should be deleted. As the creator of this page I should be able to do this. But unfortunatly this is not an option, therefore I would like to request one of the editors of Wikipedia do this for me. Discussion closed. Lordmarchmain 20:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Not worthless, but does not need its own article.--Runcorn 15:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
