[edit] Rainbow party (book)

This afd nomination was incomplete. Listing now. From the page history:

• 22:34, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (haphazard attempts to copy-edit this nearly worthless article)
• 22:36, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (intended to "scare" young readers - USA Today quotes Simon & Schuster editor)
• 22:42, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (emphasizes titillation over education, overpowering any redeeming value the book might have)
• 22:44, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (→External links - MOMMY, WHAT'S A RAINBOW PARTY?)
• 22:49, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (Publishers Weekly says the book makes a "compelling argument" against abstinence-only sex education.)
• 22:52, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (this wholo article is schlock. it controdicts its sources -)
• 22:52, 23 October 2005 Ed Poor (delete - hopelessly low quality)
• No opinion myself. —Cryptic (talk) 02:02, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep for lack of a reason from Ed Poor. Gazpacho 02:32, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Seems notable enough for mine and article appears to be in reasonable shape. Capitalistroadster 03:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but probably move back to where it was before and mostly revert to its older arrangement. The term was notable as a fairly high-profile moral panic, not as a book. --Aquillion 03:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and move. -Sean Curtin 05:42, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

  The problem is that Greece has a political party by that name. Gazpacho 07:40, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

  A disambiguation is probably in order The Minister of War 09:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Agree. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The Minister of War 09:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable and encyclopedic. Ilmari Karonen 20:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep... as verifiable article about a minorly notable novel; though I daresay the article is better written and has more value than the book itself.--Isotope23 20:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, revert, move back. CanadianCaesar 23:33, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, article is not junk and no good reason to delete ParticleMan 23:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable. Both the book and the term have had a lot of coverage in the press as well. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
