[edit] Singapore gay personalities

Delete per Wikipedia is not a place for original research, an indiscriminate repository, or a propaganda/advocacy soapbox. -- Krash (Talk) 21:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep with qualifications. Documenting the gay rights movement in Singapore seems notable enough for an article. I'd recommend a rewrite, however. Perhaps changing the direction of the article to something that would warrant the title "Gay rights movement in Singapore" would be more useful to Wikipedia. Vote changed to Delete per arguments by Krash. - Simoes 03:10, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • There seems to already be a great deal on the subject here (see Homosexuality in Singapore). Documenting the gay rights movement in Singapore is notable but I fail to see how this article helps us towards that goal. Notwithstanding, the concerns raised in my nomination remain. -- Krash (Talk) 00:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but move to Singapore gay activists, keep only content related to activists, remove the rest. In this way, it will be of a more focused topic, and more verifiable. --Vsion (talk) 03:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. – Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 06:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as original research and soapboax. *drew 07:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people (among its alphabetic daughter lists) as appropriate under the editors' standards there (basically a red link bio means the person cannot be added); move the pictures (if there is no copyvio issue) to the bios. We don't need to divide List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people by country. Carlossuarez46 02:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:V and WP:NOR. Verifying this is a huge problem and may subject Wikimedia to legal problems. Stifle 11:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per norm Leidiot 14:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete definitely. -- Миборовский ^{U|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai!} 06:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable. --Terence Ong 15:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Article makes the "gay equality movement" in Singapore more real. List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people is so long that it had to be divided alphabetically, which makes it awkward. A division by country is more useful. Verification is not much of a problem since these people have publicly expressed that they are gay. Most names have external links to articles.
